Its an honor for me that you accepted my request and offered your precious comments on my project,few months before one of my friend from abroad told me about your project so i started looking your thread in fact it is your dedicated work that fetch me to implement on my young age dream, your guidance are truly give us help and strength for this project as well future projects
I haven't enough ability to answer your questions but i vl try my best
1) This project is reshaping neither restoration nor modification hence useage of (all) parts are optional,moreover project vehicle is pickup truck that need proper chassis and not a flat floor of fx 800 and said chassis certainly require all body parts,both suspension etc in accordance to sizes/requirement of project vehicle, yes we just use the engine and fire wall of donor car to retain the identity of donor car
2) As i told at my previous posting that these snaps are old when the vehicle was about 40%,chassis is built with rectangular box section spec. 2"x4" 16 gauge dully reinforced with cross bracing, yes jimmy or potohar would be best option but firstly, i already decided for fx 800 secondly, i bought this fx 800 for Rs 65,000/ and i guess suggested vehicles are nearly triple of this price
3) yes, 3/4 square tubes are temporary and just for retention
4) yes its true race cars/ trophy trucks do have roll cages, but a question arises that chassis of any vehicle retains most of it weight and mostly these chassis are made of rectangular box section and not with round pipes
5) yes we are welding it
i would like to remind it again,that initially i was looking for some sort of kit which would be suitable for fx 800, infarct i draw some designs of small urban cars but later on when i saw that some one had modify a fx 800 into 2 door pickup then i thought why not i go ahead of them so i am trying for custom made 4 door better looking pick up truck with maximum accessories in reasonable cost
looking forward for your future guidance
God bless Pakistan and all
