Looks like you've got just about everything to do it right the first time, thats going to be sweet! I think 108 is just right on the wheel base (just cause thats what I'm at) Ha

You should tell Casey to bend that upper windshield bar more to give that mean&nasty look to it chadly!

Im trying to make it simpler than usual. Without the huge eyebrow it will be benificial because it will take less time to build the roof.

Thanks for all the compliments.. No corner cutting. We had a discusion about this buggy before it was put in stone and I recall him saying... "I want a nice comfortable, fast, reliable, one off, go anywhere buggy that can keep up with my driving style". I am doing my best to make this happen. When this is all said and done it will be an amazing machine. Chad is sure steppin up to the plate with this build. I almost have chad convinced to purchase fully fabed housings with Sixty9 dropouts. If all goes well his old axles will be up on here for sale in no time!!!

Im sure it will not be hard to convince chad to do this! Especially cause nobody else will have them!

It's time is coming... we've had a temporary delay, but updates should begin shortly

Some new parts showed up on the doorstep the other day! The wife bought me some sweet new brake peddles for my birthday for the buggy as well

Here is a couple more pics of some of the tube work on the front bumper and a few other things.

The square looking tube behind the bumper is hidden behind the grill if you were wondering
