Here's some OG bits that we're going to fabricate for the Frid Trying to give it a real Industrial look. This is a real one that we're going to repop.

OK, so here's what was going on with the ball joint beam. Lucky's was pretty backed up with projects so Buddy impatiently ordered one from Russ at Old Speed. Well... Let's just say it would've worked but it was ugly as hell... Being partners in Lucky's, this wasn't going to work... LZ jumped into action and built one. This is the first attempt at a ball joint beam and LZ is a perfectionist... They are way different than Linkpin beams. The lower tube is flared at the bottom. We couldn't find the proper material, so we had to machine it. The shock towers are way different also. Here's the progress of the beam. It turned out BAD ASS

Here's the Old Speed Beam Buddy was trying to clean it up... I pulled the plug...





Here's the Lucky's beam

Here's some progress from Buddy's shop. The body should be going to paint in the next few weeks. We're making this thing look as industrial as possible, so NO BLING There's lot's of custom ticks being done to the pan though. Check out the removable tunnel bottom plate. This was done for simplicity when maintenancing. It's also where the fuel pump will be bidden/located. All the stainless fuel and brake lines are located in here also. Instead of polishing the stainless, we chose to steel wool finish everything to keep it looking industrial. Notice where all the lines enter the tunnel through the bulkhead. Also notice that the entire bulkhead has been smoothed.

The sand color is going to probably be the body color and the pan accent color. Notice that all the lubrication points are painted red like the old wartime vehicles. It's so the military would know what to lubricate Again, no chrome, NO BLING. Industrial is what we are after

Here's some pictures of the custom oil sump that Darrel machined for me. That dude has MAD skills He's working on a few other pieces for me also

It looks amazing so far!! I can't wait until this car is finished and you bring it home!! I like the industrial look. The Frid is an awesome additional to your collection

Bad ass!

Awesome job on the beam Sweet detail in the pan, did the military ever use the frid's? I wanted to barf when I saw the baby turbo mirror on the red car in the back ground.

Not "Military" Ethan, Industrial...

Hey now.....take that little blue guy back... you are the one who brought the Military up, I was just curious if they even used them in the military.????
