Fantasy projects

[muddymatt1973]

Hi All,

I know everybody has a few so please add them.
I'll kick off with a few of my ideas. These are what I would do with A, lotto winners money B, Far more engineering skills and C, lots and lots of time.

Discovery 3 chassis and air bag suspension with factory rear locker and traction control.
Ford/Mazda 3.2 5 cyl motor and 6 speed manaul box.
Wrapped in LR series 2a bodywork.

Jimny beam axles and coils under a Vitara 3 dr body with power from a 3cyl Ford eco-boost motor. Manual box from a toyota gt68 (only small rear drive I could think of)

Early hilux double cab body, tube space frame with coil over rear and Dana 44 or stronger. RWD only. Custom front arms and drop spindles. Crazy v8 like a Maserati or TVR flat plane crank. Motor set back as far as poss or offset like a Trophy Truck. Road legal

Well that's a look into my twisted imagination What's your ideas?

4 x electric motor, one for each wheel.
Li-ion battery pack or better...
Active long arm independent suspension on each corner.
4 wheel steering.
Wheel speed/torque sensing for independent motor control.

Will have to stick to my petrol with solid axles until I win lotto or get a job with Tesla.

Turn my Dodge Challenger into a Pro Touring car.
Build something similar to the Power Wagon above but put a Ram Cummins in it, big turbo and injectors and lay coal redneck style.

So basically a Chev C10 with tractor axles and tyres yeah....?

Mines in the build stage. May not be the prettiest custom car but it will turn heads (and stomachs - LOL). Some will like it, some will loathe it and the rest wont care, but I'm making it myself and #### everyone else...

Those are Rockwell deuce and a half (2.5 ton) axles. They are are a top loading, pinion-braked design from military applications.

Also thats a 3rd generation Chevrolet K-Series pickup truck. The C-10 was a half ton version made between 66-72.
