So picking up where we left off, the chassis work and suspension was pretty much finished so it was on to focusing on the VK56 swap components and pushing development further. And let me tell you, now that we had a solid base vehicle to test it all in, it really helped us focus on […]

Thought I would do it a bit old school today and a get the build updated on the blog!  For those that follow the build on our YouTube channel, it overlaps somewhat but also gets things current while we catch up editing video.  So let’s time warp back a few months and bring things current… […]

Big milestone in the build – roll cage is done! In this video we take a look at it coming together. Still lots more work to do but, oh boy, it feels sooooo good to have the cage wrapped up! And somehow or another, I botched the export settings (or something) so it’s not full […]

Chassis prep continues…and while it has a feeling of dragging on, it’s really important to think of and do everything you want done to the chassis BEFORE spraying paint. So that’s really where a lot of the effort and time has gone. It’s more than just putting a roll cage in it, it’s thinking through […]

Episode 3 is out! I feel like I used to sit down and write and write on the blog. It’s just what you did, it was the thing to do. It was really the only thing to do. Now producing a video series versus writing a blog, I can’t tell you which takes more time. […]

To develop the VK56 swap package and test its components, we need a proper base to thrash on them in. This starts that journey.

We’ve taken the blogging to video (we’ll actually still be doing both really), so check out the VK56 S14 build in motion! And if you subscribe to our channel that’s appreciated more than you know! We’re not video pros, but we just wanted to share the builds and shop life in another more interactive form. […]

So to catch things up from the last post… Greg pulled my 14 out of storage. It was wrapped in plastic and such as you saw but this was still the result of 6 years in a barn. Looking a bit better after a hose off: And about that time, we picked up another VK56 […]

How long it’s been, how long it’s been!!! Wow, certainly overdue for an update and it’s finally a good one. But first you ask, why did the build take a bit of a pause? Well, like most things, life has a way of changing directions and life/family priorities come before the fun stuff. Basically around […]
