Haha I'm not sure what everyone thinks of it on here, I'm sure there are some mixed feelings about it forsure!
But Its my build and Its different! Its not just a slapped together huck of crap ether. Its far from a $500 dallor beater. Its killing me to not be working on it right now!
I cant wait to take it to Cali and see everyones faces when i pull up to one of their luv meets! I'm just waiting to see those faces!
Maybe me a "Love4theluv" will team up and head down! That would be funner than heck!
heck yeah man. im saving the $$ for my engine build, getting close now that my other stuff is paid up, just takes time building something on a mcdonalds budget :p i was thinking going down to the donut derelicts show LUV TRKR posted about in socal when its done. plenty of people from the site along the way to stop in and say hi to and shoot the luv bull breeze a while
In my eyes I see it like any old hotrod/rat rod. They did frame swaps on those all the time. They did whatever it took to achieve that over all goal they wanted. I really dont see why mine is any different.
i dont see that being different at all you wanted a v6 4x4 that looks like a luv... so you build one that looks like a luv with what ya had on hand.. and it turned out pretty sweet. and it gets down the road, for a chev body on a ford chassis that alone is an accomplishment lol...
im keeping mine all GM but im getting olds bravada axles and t-case, s10 blazer engine/trans, eventually a m90 off a buick etc... keeping something original is all fine and well but its the unique ones that get noticed.
like a 350 swap... sure it would be boss in a straight line, but i would rather have a Supercharged V6, AWD LUV with front and rear limited slip (bravada axles) than another sbc 350/th350 luv anyday... too many twisty mountain roads in the PNW to just wanna go fast in a line...
think wayy outside the box... old school pontiac gangster movie sedan... but lightened a bit sitting on camaro running gear... would be sweet right?? sure some people would say its blasphemy but who cares it would turn heads everywhere it went
