BIG OLY rides again

[BIGOLYTT]

Thanks for the link. I wonder if it will have the pop up kc lights.

I originally planned to do that, and I might still do it later on. But, for now i'm not.

Marshall definitely wants the wing - not sure if he's going to do pop-up lights yet or not.

It will have a 65" x 70" carbon fiber wing. Pop up lights at a later date.

I thought i would post up these pictures i had saved on my computer of a EB prerunner, maybe he can use some of the ideas on Big Oly.

Thanks man! I just got the spindles and uprights on Thursday night 1:00am , so I could mount up the tires, get it on the trailer and be in Tiajuana by 6:30am, so that Baja Fabrications could have one whole day to fit the custom Bronco TT body on it while I was there, to give them direction on all the body details. The front end with the louvered and slightly raised flared front fenders and the cowl (reversed scoop) IS VERY MEAN LOOKIN'!!! I will design the wing layout and have it done to layup with carbon fiber or texilium (some new trick looking stuff) on Tuesday when I go back down to TJ.
I will post pics of the body work on www.race-dezert.com (forum, shop, show and tell, "Big Oly" tt thread) next week.

Looks like you lengthened the chassis? Is it linked? Forget prerunning.....race that thing. Give the Moss Bros. something to race against.;D

Here's a pic of Big Oly in the making.

That pic still amazes me. Check out the travel on those "coilovers" and the (compared to today's typical truck) lack of tubing. Those guys were definately tough.

The photo originally appeared in a 1971 issue of Hot Rod Magazine detailing the building of Big Oly.

If you look closely everything about it is larger than an EB. For instance, that is a full width rear axle. I got to crawl all over/under/thru it in San Ignacio about 2 days b4 it was stolen.

stolen???

 

[Gud Racing]

I talked to Willie Stroppe a few years ago about it. He said they were always changing length and width trying to make it better. I wonder how much of the original is left.

 

[Gud Racing]

stolen???

Oh! You're talking about the Rusty's bronco. I heard they found pieces of it.

 

[NicksTrix]

gud, interesting. where'd you hear that? reliable source?

 

[Gud Racing]

I can't remember. It's been awhile. I am sure Todd Z would know as much as me. The theft was all over the desert boards a few years ago.
