V100 mods

Thought I'd share a couple photos of my V100 thats being repowered with a 300HP 5.9 Cummins with the Allison 6 speed. This is the unit that the custom wheels and fuel doors go with

Thank you

Don't forget to update the bilge pump.

Thought I might get away with just taking the screen off the one thats already in it

Here's what the fan looks like when the grille is removed, and the exhaust will be routed to the lower left side of it .

You can also see the radiator shroud on the top side.

Looking pretty cool. Wow, that fan will sure evacuate the vehicle on a hot day.

Starting on the interior panels now. There are plenty of angles to deal with along with making the diamond pattern not only run horizontal, but also have proper timing between the panel sections so that it all looks like one piece. The driveshaft tunnel was cut and realigned since there's no mechanical linkage going through it, which increased floor space in the vehicle.

Installed the first brackets for the crew seating. Trying to get as much of the cutting and welding done as possible before abrasive blasting is done. Removing all unused weldments from the interior as I go.

So, what progress to report? I'd be interested to see the reduced size center tunnel, that does take rather a lot of the interior in the original.

Cheers

Hello Rory,
We've been working quite a bit on the computer for this project, more specifically on the front and top. Recessed lights, winch relocation and a lights bar mount are among the current tasks.

As far as the tunnel goes, it looks really nice and gets back a few inches here and there...which every little bit helps.

I hope to have more pictures soon

These V-100s are beginning to catch my interest...

Subscribed.

Looking good!

 

[wgtactical]

Thanks Danger Ranger
The next time you guys see this part of the V100, it will look quite different. This area will be the target of the next modification, and it looks really nice on the computer right now. Metal is already being cut, and prep work is already being performed. I will keep you updated

 

[wgtactical]

Preparation for visibility improvements. I verify all the modifications on the computer before I start cutting...with a vehicle like this, you only get one shot.

 

[M813rc]

Wow!!

Watching this with fascination! More pictures!! (Please )

Cheers

Your attention to detail is impressive and commendable. All you need to do now is install the Flux Capacitor and get her up to 88mph and see what happens.

Looking great Geraldl, I expected nothing less than amazing!

 

[wgtactical]

Thanks guys
Here's the frames welded in, the glass is on order and about 4 weeks out. You can see the paint ground off in select areas on the front...there's a major design change going there

When I get most of the mod work done, I will go back and blast the vehicle and get a nice coat of epoxy primer on it.

 

[Danger Ranger]

That will certianly make a difference!

Cool build. I don't know if you've seen this.

Yes I have followed that project...Robert (trades2much) has done a great job on that machine and has been a huge help toward getting mine going!
