General Tech Cory's single seat selfish buggy

[_Auzzy_]

Yea butthole ya got your headers started yet?

 

[YROC FAB.]

got any updates for the crowd?

Yea butthole ya got your headers started yet?

No sorry guys.

I did buy all my header parts and i tried to make a die to press out my own collectors and it fail. I'll i make it work later. I got the idea from randy slawson from bomber fabrication.http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/8567128-post7.html he has more taper on his die and must of had better tubing. Mine kept splitting the tube even with heat and lube.

Im thinking im going to cut the t case mounts free and move the drive train around and get a F body pan to lower the engine before i fab the headers. I want to make a new engine skid that will hold the radiator and tie into the rear end better.

Right now it sitting outside in the snow with a tarp over it while a fab bumpers and roll cage for a 4 seat razor. I probable wont make much progress as im not planning on spending any money on it till after KOH.

over a month and a half and no progress? KOH IS OVER!!!! get on it

 

[YROC FAB.]

i ordered a oil pan and scotched brited some of the rust off. What have you done??

 

[crosbike]

Front coilover mount and belly. But no pics for you

 

[YROC FAB.]

Finished off the front upper link mounts finally.





I ended up picking up a GTO front sup oil pan Which will let me drop the motor about 3 inches. I plan on making some oil gates inside. Gto on left stock truck pan on right. any one want a truck oil pan?



Crappy pic of new oil pan sitting above a striaght edge that is flat against the bell of the buggy. I cut the old engine skid and mounts off tonight.




My old lady took a spy pic of me trying to figure out how i wanted to make the new engine skid.

 

[YROC FAB.]

Well i remounted the drivetrain with the new oil pan. much better everything. Thanks for the advise on the oil pans guys.

On this Intake manifold can just flip it around backwards? Or is there anything special i need to know? learn me please.

I stopped looking for tires the day i bought my 42's. I dont want to find a better deal or different tires. I will use these sx's till they are dead just like all my other tires.

I think i put a graphic sticker on it of cut out some raised alum lettering.

 

[Herzog]

That is looking good!

 

[Bart]

Nice progress.

 

[YROC FAB.]

Got the hard side figured out.

 

[AaronPaige]

This buggy is so sweet I can't wait to see it running

 

[YROC FAB.]

Well i got 3 of the tubes done on the other side and then ran out of J bends so i order one more and finished this side today.I took 12 J bends fyi. I started tig welding them all and i ran out of argon. Any one have headers ceramic coated? Who did you use? About how much $$?

 

[crosbike]

Looks killer

The buggy is currently getting the axles stuffed with gears by a friend that owes me some favors. 5.38s welded rear, cheap durasolid spool up front.

 

[YROC FAB.]

Got the gears slammed in it and back home. I went ahead and Fabrimicated a light rear axle truss and restarted working working on drive lines.
