The idea of building my own body is making me think about building a sand rail, I have enough drivetrain, suspension, etc parts laying around and I could "borrow" steel tubing from my friends farm. I also discovered that HPA Motorsports makes a Jeep TDI swap kit so I could use a Wrangler 6spd, I thought the only RWD adapters were for Suzuki samurai/sidekick trans which are better suited to the VW 1.6td, the TDI has too much torque for them. The Jeep trans has a wider gear spread as well.
Does anyone have pics of a aerodynamic sand rail or similar vehicle?
I'm thinking a lightweight, low profile frame with a coroplast and fiberglass body.
