I have the first plans on how I believe that the vehicle was put together. Sorry guys cant show them just yet, but i promise no bull. Parts and fab shouldnt be that much of a prob. Thats right a full size, small block 350 blown motor, cave divin tumbler. All my specs and designes came from the great close up pics for CLTC and pausen' BatBegins 750 times. I would like to know if anyone really knows if the rearend axel is truley a solid sraight or a independent rear suspension. The only thing that is messin with me is the way the 2 main nitrogen shocks are set up. I also want to incorporate the working hatch to the car not the dumb pop top like the moving cars have. Sorry to say I dont have much experiance with hydrolic coputer programming to allow the complex motions of the hatch and the seat housing to move. . The front end I developed myself using the same concept as the masterminds behind this beast. Front Baja truck suspension fabd. and customized for this app. Not sure what tranny would be the best to use for the dramatic torqe and weight of the car and the massive meat. I also dont have the extra 22 thousand dollars to make all my body panels out of CARBON FIBER like they did as well.So def. somthn close to it....... Anything else would be helpfull, dont worry well all get to enjoy it ONCE ITS DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:box

| I still think this thing could be built on a sandrail dune buggy and look pretty cool.

J.C., nice to finally see someone else interested in the Tumbler. Here is a pic that should help you sort out the whole rear axle issue. I too aspire to build this beast, I am currently shopping around for just the right rear axle, then from there I will send drawings in to this off road chassis builder to build my frame. I would love to know how you figured out the frontend of the car. Welcome to the boards by the way.

It will not let me load my pic, it is on the green list of things that pop up when you go to upload images, it is labeled rearend. Does anybody know how to pull it over here? :wtf
