Re: ‘76 Liquifire Custom

Progress on the project has slowed a bit. I had the pan at a local fab shop to have an extension TIG’ed to the top of the pan and just picked it up yesterday after it was there for a few weeks. This had to be done to make the hood match up with the height of the dash on the XC tunnel. Speaking of th...

Re: ‘76 Liquifire Custom

Going to relocate the tunnel cooler so that the front neck fits in the space where the factory LF cooling lines ran under the tank. Will have to fab a custom steering shaft, too. A couple of pictures as I’m mocking things up. Right now, the Deere pan is screwed to the tunnel and I have 2.5 inches ge...

Re: ‘76 Liquifire Custom

Using the LF tank is looking more of a wish than a reality. The neck for the cooler is going to interfere with the hump on the back side of the tank.

Re: ‘76 Liquifire Custom

I salvaged everything that I could off of the donor Liquifire for this build. Tear down of the XC is underway. I stopped and took a few minutes to think about how things might be placed. I would like to use the LF tank, but there may be some clearance issues that have to be tackled.

Re: ‘76 Liquifire Custom

Everything is off of the liquifire donor chassis. I originally wanted to use the tunnel in the build, but swapping tunnels with the XC bulkhead might prove to be a bigger task than what I’m ready to do. If you’ve ever taken the pan off of one of these, you know that there are a good number of spot w...

‘76 Liquifire Custom

After seeing a couple of the custom builds here and on vintagesleds (mainly Horicon Joe’s Liquifire II and Polcat’s build), I’ve started to embark on my own custom project. I picked up a basketcase Liquifire 340 that had been sitting outside for a number of years. My son and I have already begun to ...
