Silver Bullet drive train swap into the Hangover

[Monstercrawler]

I sold my enclosed trailer last week so that motivated me to go ahead and get the Hangover up and running. Some of you all ready know I rolled the silver bullet out at Gilmer a few years ago and it's just been sitting in my ocean container since. It destroyed the body beyond repair so I thought it would be best to just find a clean donor rig to swap the parts over to.

I started on it Saturday and have the axles, New shock hoops, extended brake lines and TC installed in the newer body. Today weather permits I plan to pull the motor and transmission out of the Bullet and get them cleaned up.

I'm going to order new suspension seats and pick up some DOM for a cage this go around.











I'll post more as progress is made.

Few more small parts to strip off but the ol Silver Bullet is just about done.

are you keeping the seats?

 

[Monstercrawler]

I'm not keeping them. They are just junk yard pull outs with seat covers.

Got the motor and transmission in it yesterday. I'll have everything put back together today and start working on cleaning the old gas out of the tank.

I had to travel for work this week but will get back on it next week.

I'm headed to Barnwell Mountain this weekend for some wheeling. Not taking my rig but I an having a rig brought out to me to wheel. It's Jonas's old Zuki buggy so I should be right at home in it.

I'm guess the owner forgot what happen the last time I wheeled Gilmer. hahaha
