Yes, they would me visually identical with three major differences. One, you would not need a hard top windshield, two I would offer rear window options (I might even make a sliding door in the back) and three the thing would NOT leak. :)
I would need to know more details but the ones pictured are NOT structural as there is nothing to the front hinge mounts. If they are like that and using 1" CRS I would think $1K to $1.5K would do it. To get to the $500 range they would have to be on a production line likely in China.
I had a set of hard X-doors in bad shape that I cut in half and made a new top piece for them as 1/2 doors. Same idea but solid verses open like pictured. I later fixed the tops and made a set-up where the door tops could be slipped back onto the bottoms to make a full door option. The stock...
Yep, my thoughts exactly. The tops I am talking about are 1/4" aluminum and MIG welded together, no rivets or sheet metal screws. The rear wall is the hard part as it is complex geometry to get everything right. The only way I will do this is with laser cut panels and a full size jig made off...
You can buy a 'universal' Chinese kit on EBAY for $500.....BUT the turbo is wrong and crap, the pipes are wrong, the rest needed to put it in would cost 2X that and it would still be crap. You need a properly matched turbo from a reputable manufacturer. You need proper oil feeds and drains...
I have sold a bunch locally to existing friends and clients. I have also had several sales inquiries from EBAY but slow start. I have enough in sales to proceed. I don't expect to make much when it is all said and done. I have other projects in the works though.
I have a dual heat/cool...
Sad but true, the Detroit and surrounding areas are torture! I will be there next week and am not looking forward to that part! Guess who I am working with next week?
You would have to set up a drain tank and scavenge pump to take the drain oil back to the engine being low mounted like that. The turbo response time would go down with the long runs of pipe to and from the turbo. There would also be a lot of pressure drop with the volume added by the long...
I machined up steel male AN bungs for the rear block plates. I then TIG welded those to new plates. The hoses are assembled and then the rest is procured. All the AN fittings are CNC machined which is what I meant by 'Shame to hide all that Aluminum machining work...".
I fabricate seals from rubber that I buy in bulk that is often used in landscaping for edging. I also use weatherstripping and automotive generic seals. It is not brain surgery but it is tedious. I really should make some templates to save me the measuring and trial fitting time each time I...
For a guy preaching on restoring and not modding, I noticed in your signature a 1972 M35A2 "Bobbed Deuce", seems pretty hypocritical does it not?
Moving on to enjoying my HMMWVs in whatever respect I desire as I have the right to do as does anyone else who legally bought them does.
I also have installed many dual fan setups. I dont run the dual fan housings as there are much better single fans that put out much higher CFMs than any of the dual fan housings I have found. I run only 24V fans and I run them through a 24V digital controller. The big added Item is the...
