General Tech Cory's single seat selfish buggy

[SAVAGE]

thats awesome man, i guess I was forgetting your 60 is backwards too. That makes a lot more sense.

 

[UFAB]

Jims performance in DE

He has one week turnaround and is around 450 bones.

Rework harness and flash.

We have used him over a dozen times for quick return.

If new, we use howell.

 

[YROC FAB.]

Where's DE? can you pm or post his # or address.

 

[I Lean]

It's http://www.jimsperformance.com/ and he's in Maryland, not Delaware.

Ignore his terrible, terrible website and call him. He does good work.

This build is amazing and I have never built a single seater before but that motor seems like it sits up awfully high..

 

[sawtooth4x4]

Will you be able to do wheelies with the engine like that. WOW! How much does this thing weigh without an engine. That's gonna scream!

 

[I Lean]

that motor seems like it sits up awfully high..

Yes, it does now that I look at it again. Is that a truck oil pan under it? Maybe switch to an F-body pan and lower the engine 3" or whatever that pan saves?

 

[YROC FAB.]

I think its kind of misleading because of how small this buggy is and that its on a slant. I know you all have used stock truck oil pan on a motor before? Thats what this has on it. That oil pan is lower than the top of the engine skid hoop. it will have 1/2" clearance from the top of the skid plate. I could lower the motor with a smaller pan but then i would have to raise the t case making it so the trans pan isn't sitting on the belly tube. with the T case raised i would have to move it further out of the chassis as well.

 

[skippy]

How wide is this chassis in the passenger compartment? Whats the wheelbase?

 

[YROC FAB.]

Door bar and rocker are 36" outside to outside. 108" wheelbase

Keep up the good work . Looking very neat.

 

[YROC FAB.]

Made some shock mounts. I made a set that had the shock eye bolting going front to back. I had them tacked on and then realized the remote reservoir would be stuck in between the C pillar V and the shock mount. So then i came up with this. Did some more motor mount bracing.

I hate it when things like this happen, it's kinda funny in hind sight, but it sucks when it happens

and I'm loving your build so far YROC, it's resparked my desire to build my own buggy when i can finally have a place to build!

 

[STAG]

Killer work.

Get on it! Get some parts together. Lets see some buid threads. 70% of the crapped ive fabbed in the past was out in the drive way laying in the mud

I would...... but it's kinda hard to do things when the wife says I can't build anything more than model cars in our apartment...... otherwise, I'm setting aside money to build it when I can do it. besides, i've never really done any kind of mecanic work, or metal work inside a garage. so the outdoors and the elements are my friends!

 

[Coco]

I love this build. The cleanliness of the fab, and the welds are so pretty and clean!

 

[THSDragoon]

got any updates for the crowd?
