  • What's up everybody!
    Well, here we are, the end of an era. Our 49 Fiord body swapped BMW is finally done (except some tuning and a headliner LOL - those videos are to follow shortly).
    Check out this video to see the finished product with it's 20x14 Hostile Wheels, 345/20 Toyo Proxes, Garret Motion turbo mounted on a Doc Race manifold and so much more.....

    About Maniacs Garage and its creator:
    My name is John. Over the past few decades I have built some pretty crazy rides and this one may be the craziest! After spending the last 15 years working on my Real Estate business, raising a family and help plant a start up church, I am ready to embark, along with my son and a group of friends, on a new project.
    However, this is not just any old project, we are going to attempt the first ever 1949 Ford Shoebox chassis swap to a 2008 BMW 335i.
    Keep in mind that we don't do this for a living and the budget is very limited.
    Will we make the deadline for SEMA 2021? What kind of challenges will we run into along the way?

      Don't EVER underestimate Bruce Willis! He was/is John McLain FFS, he has been known to be build his own cars cos no car he could buy would ever be bad ass enough for him, nutra bullet build him a one off model made of diamond glass and carbon blades so he can blend a bottle of black label bourbon and a huge box of 4 inch nails (that is his equivalent of a breakfast spiralina and kale smoothie)

    The "shortening" is called sectioning, that also refers to widing if you would of added a few inches in the middle. Which could have looked alot better than having the tires poking out the sides

    • @ManiacsGarage
      @ManiacsGarage  Před 2 lety +1

      Yeah I hear you but we originally set out to have the wheels sticking out. Especially since the BMW donor car under it was the same width as the 49 Ford. Pretty crazy that it fit as good as it did. With that said, we may rework the fenders at some point. Thanks for watching!

      Even if ya went with wide fenders you could have cut the body n pulled them out n add some triangles to fill the gaps, it could have fit better with the style of that body work.
