They're already 38.5s- if they're much taller, they'll rub when they get to full turn. But maybe a future upgrade!

For those that don't follow 'The Warthog Build' page on Facebook, here's just a quick winter update. Got one of the sides (mostly) finished now and working on the other. Still a long way to go, but it's getting there!

Many of you have probably seen the updates on The Warthog Build facebook page, so sorry if it's repetitive. But for those who didn't, just a periodic update here... Finally got some tusks on and have a turret in the works... Progress, but a log way to go still!

No idea exactly, although I started the design in January 2014, got a doner truck in April 2014, and started cutting and welding in June 2014. I work on it about every other weekend and some week days after work/at night. I wish I had more progress but everything I’m doing is the first time...

Just a winter update. Got the air system installed as well as most of the electrical and lights.

You are too kind. I wish I could take direct credit for the windshield... Although I made the original buck form, I sent it off to Shields, an awesome custom windshield place in Indiana, who made the final molds and polycarbonate windscreen.

A few overdue updates. Rest assured I work on this thing constantly, but most of the efforts this season have been re-doing the hood and internal things like wiring... and I've got to build everything from scratch.

It's been a while, so figured an update was overdue...

Oh absolutely, once this thing is finished, Katsucon isn’t very far at all. But it’s got a long way to go till it’s done unfortunately.

Yeah, just a little cold. But working on some interior stuff and that's a slow process.

Just a few pix of the slow progress...

A small update... Got a little done on the hood area.

Been working on the turret... it's coming along!

Thanks, all! Appreciate the moral support. It's got a Ford 351 Windsor (5.8L) gas engine with a C-6 transmission and 4.10 axle gear ratio. I have a feeling it'll a little underpowered, but we'll see... The key to affording it is to buy in increments, but yeah the wheels and tires alone were...
