Kinda hard to tell in the pic but you did move the fuel cell forward like we talked about didn't you? Be a good place for a storage box.

Yes, it moved towards the cross bar so that a small tool box and cooler will fit between the fuel cell and the rear bar. I am looking at the swag offroad holders.

I could be wrong, but next is to finish the interior sheet metal and then time to add some COLOR! :driver:


Getting close and pockets are getting empty...:eek:

Mine were empty way before I got close but your making good progress!
 
Not much going on this week, I have been sick. I did get some parts in....

My braided brake lines and my ARC switch panel.

I think I'm gonna like the touch button controls!

I have been working little by little on the buggy, nothing really picture worthy yet.

* The rear fuel cell mount and tool box area are completed now.
* The engine cage is all welded in for good now.
* The subframe bracing is completed
* parts ordered......

I have decided to run an Atlas, so this will be the final piece to the build (other than wheels and tires). Once this is in, it will be back to Metalwerx's for the rest of the interior sheet metal and then tear down for paint!

I am trying by best! It might not be painted and 100%, but I hope to at least give it a 1st time run. :driver:

I missed 3-1/2 years of runs working on mine. Kudos to anyone building stuff quickly; life would always get in my way!
 
Not a lot of picture worthy work being done, but here goes a little progress

* rear area to mount the tool box
* battery box mounted
* computer and fuse box mount built/installed
* rear brake lines ran and tabs built


I also got some small bracing and cosmetic work done. The P pump and resivoir are on as well.
