I am having a 4 seat truck built down at my buddy's Dana and Gab's shop ( ASC ) in Santee. My hope was to build something I could use in the sand as well as hard pack if I wanted to. Truck is a 4 seater built "Shaq Attach size" for me ( I am 6'7" ) so I wanted it to be comfortable for the front and rear passengers. I am straight legged in the front and the passengers seats in the back can accommodate a 6' 5" person comfortably.

Body looks like this!


Here are a few build details.

4 x Sparco extra wide seats, Seats are on sliders. Momo belts and steering wheel.

Race pack dash

GPS with rear view cam.

Walker Evans Wheels with 35" tires

King Shocks and Bypasses all 4 corners. With King bump stops.

8 x Fuego HID's on lightbar.

50 different Chromo gussets all over the car.

Were rebuilding the front upper A arms in Chromo and rebuilding the front spindles with ProAm bolt on snots and everything double shear for strength.

Engine is a Nelson Racing 427 twin turbo. I plan to run it at 6 to 22 pounds of boost on 110 gas. (hp is a secret so watch the video)

Here is a video of the motor.

Here is a little more about the motor.

Rear Torsion bar. Double shear!

Tranny is a Fortin Racing 5 speed sequential with Torque converter.

Lots of aluminum work with dash and center console, firewall with mesh. Closed off engine area, Thinking of closing off the front wheels wells, Rear deck lid will be on actuators and with some scoops.

Oh poop handles for everyone!

Fiberglass body with windshield, custom paint probably in the off season.

Lots of fun little Details!!! Steps, Overhead console, door panels, etc...






















More to come!!!!

Absoluely Gorgeous!!!!! Are you going to use a torque convertor or go with traditional?

I would guess with all the added supports the car will be at 4,200lb dry, 4800 to 5500 loaded, and runnin 1200hp , it will be like a vw car witha 2180, bra I suggest you bump up the hp while you can why go with a mere 1200hp, when you can have 2400hp, boost baby boost, , very nice one badgluteous maximus ride, also those lower front arms are hollow with minor supports a few big air jumps and your gonna bend them, have gabe fix them now or have them redesigned, do not get the ones from db.com the are also hollow and will also bend they lack inner core support. congrats its gonna be sweet. cnt wait to see er run.

why go with a mere 1200hp, when you can have 650hp,

You should open the front as much as you can. my car was fast before the body was on, after I put the body I lost 25 mph and it would not jump, the air got under it....call Jimmy Weitzel he will tell you all about it

Motor is in final assembly and should be on the dyno next week. I have more pictures but forgot the camera in my car. I will post up and update tommorow.

Seen this motor today.......all the big boys better step up their game because this engine is no joke

I heard he was only gonna run 6lbs of boost??

hv at least we have 650 and not 300, boosh I'm just going by my uncles car which is the same without the body and its 3500, you might just be suprised, but hey who gives it will still be a blast !

Seems to work for him.



We are closing off the whole bottom with alum and also the wheel wells...
