Lol. Ol Smokey almost went up in flames again during an unfortunate welding mishap. Not really, but the seat got a small burn on it on the very last weld so Chris pulled it and ordered a new one for me. It just hasn't arrived yet.

Time for a long overdue update on Ol Smokey
Chris finished up the buggy and I took it home to add a few things.
Tore it down and powder coated; picked it up on Good Friday and reassemble began!
LS1 in
All Currie joints rebuilt and links installed. Cleaned up the axle and rebuilt the rear hubs with new bearings, seals, and lightened it up with some brakes from Spidertrax. Rear ORIs installed and a few other misc items.
I tell ya what, that Currie joint installation tool... While it's expensive, the ease of use to disassemble and rebuild their joints makes the tool well worth the $$$. What a time saver!

Not yet. It's about 75% put back together. Been working on mini buggy, work, and a house remodel. So, it's slow but making progress.
Target is April 1 to be ready for spring wheeling.

I can plan for that. Mini buggy is supposed to be done by then too. @MarsFab has his work cut out for him.
