This has been thrash week on the buggy and its so close.
Ill get more pics over the weekend when my priorities allow but here is what took today.

A gauge pod that I spent way too much time on today

It moves!!!!!!
Today I moved it over to the lift so I could do some welding underneath and get the suspension adjustments taken care of.
Going to the muffler shop Monday morning and then just the stupid little stuff before it leaves my hands.

Nice, clean work Chris. I like the clamps holding the lines on the control arms!

those little things that people dont take into consideration when doing a build is what makes a difference.

Well my old phone crapped out so I lost some progress pics but here is what I have got. The buggy is almost done. I have wheeled it 2 times and it works great. Still have some cosmetic work to do and winch install. Thanks to Chris at Buckeye Performance for doing a great job!

Looks good man.

 

[BUCKEYE PERFORMANCE INC.]

Looks much better.
Had I known you were gonna paint the aluminum on the gaugr pod I would not have spent so much time on the brushed finish and just made it with steel.

I painted it with that peel paint because I was not sure if I wanted it colored. I think I am gonna peel it off and just stay with the aluminum.

You guys gonna do anything to continue the tube work in the front. That's one thing I never did when I built the chassis. I never could decide what would look good.

 

[BUCKEYE PERFORMANCE INC.]

Yea when I get caught back up with some other jobs im gonna do some bouncer style tube work on the front and I still have to add in all the bracing under the tranny.

Looks good buddy. How's the temps working out with just the single pusher fan?

 

[jaybird1ton]

It is running around 170-180. It is running cooler than I had expected so far. I am very pleased with it but it still needs a little work to be ready to wheel hard. Are you going to Windrock to watch the SRRS with us? @mcutler

 

[mcutler]

Doubtful. Unless work lets up probably, won't wheel again til labor day. .... I'm not much for watching either.

 

[BUCKEYE PERFORMANCE INC.]

Bent up some tube on the front and added in some more tube on the bottom side this week so he can go play a little next weekend.

[lockedup5]

I'm guessing you got your steering problem worked out? I figured it was the pump

 

[jaybird1ton]

Finally decided to get the buggy skinned. Not finished yet but should be done soon. The back will be where I put my tool bag or whatever I need. Finished picks coming soon

 

[BUCKEYE PERFORMANCE INC.]

That's gonna turn out pretty good. I was fixing to call you and ask about that.
