Bogeyman build continuation

[Bonehead]

Probably the longest build on this site. I started this build many years back. The build was commissioned, as a work on it as I had the time kind of build. And my time got super occupied. Since I started this build, I built the SEMA Jeep, TOXIC. I also built Sinister Sally for my Brother. I just worked on a big house project in Aspen for two years. But on top of that my Art career took off in a major fashion. I have done some monumental large sculpture pieces for public art, and am currently working on a very large sculpture project. But I have been feeling bad about not getting work done on the 50 Willys truck, Bogey Man. So the owner from out of state, and I , came up with a plan where I would take a week off from everything else, and he would come and help with the project. So we spent the last week working on his truck in my shop. As you may recall, this was a 50 Willys that I had gathered up years before as a potential build. Custom chassis, 4 link rear, coils, disks, One ton axles, but no longer 4x4, but a narrowed 14 bolt rear, 472 Caddy. Turbo 400, 3 inch chop in the front, 5 inch chop in the rear. (yes that is right), and a removable hard top.

Good stuff BH !!! I really like the tilt wheel deal

 

[Bonehead]

The tilt wheel is a popular piece you can order, mainly for race cars, and rock buggies.

Okay gang, I finished my part of this build, now the owner will add electric, and plumbing. He brought his trailer, and hauled it off today, after we worked on it the last few days getting all the little details done. This was a really long project. As you recall, I started from scratch and built the frame, and modified a Willys body by chopping, channeling, stretching, and making it a hard top convertible. This one is purposely a little on the rough side. The 472, with turbo 400, and narrowed 14 bolt rear end completes the drive train, and a 10 bolt 4x4 front axle with the center section removed is what's up font. Vega box steering, and custom linkage, and wheel. My first skull shifter set up for a Lokar shifter. Lots of details including the center tunnel with Boogyman hand reaching out, and another Boogyman on the front, and rear end cover. The front radius arms, ( hairpin style) , have actual arms on them, (Made from steel). Coil overs all the way around with a triangulated 4 link in the rear, and Panhard bar front. Right now, I feel like this is my last build for somebody else, I have a stack of builds lined up for me, but have not had the time. I have a frame to build for a friend of mine, but nowhere near a full build. My Artwork has really taken off, and I am staying very busy with that right now. If I start anything, I will let you guys know. Photo dump below.
