hey chad, i'm thinking if you hack your legs off at the knees you won't have this problem

 

[chadschoon]

Didn't get a lot done this weekend but here are a few progress pics of what I ended up doing behind the seats. I am going to bend the head rests forward a bit so it wont look like your going to bean your head
I have all the links measured up so I can get them made this week and hopefully have it sitting on all fours this weekend

Hope you plan on wheeling with a helmet or you are going to need some serious padding on those down bars.

 

[chadschoon]

My head is actually not close at all. These seats are prett big

Make sure to completely box frame that fuel cell. The Fuel Safe cell I had in my FTM buggy took a beating when we rolled. Of course you probably won't roll as much as a comp rig. Matt ended up pulling his because it bent so far out of shape from the bladder beating it from the inside.

Chad, what is the chassis overall width? I'm guessing somewhere around 52"? Also, how tall is your subframe assembly? Trying to take some of your guys builds to get some ideas for my own. Thanks.

 

[chadschoon]

The overall chassis width is 54" outside and 50 1/2" inside. The subframe is 11" Hope that helps

 

[chadschoon]

Ok well i've got the rear all linked up and coilovers mounted. Now just need to do the front

There will be more box plating and final welding here soon.

[iamsparticus]

Looks good, your garage looks like a garage from a buggy that was for sale on here a little while ago by the guy with the creppy picture is this the same or am i mistaken

 

[iamsparticus]
