The front end suspension setup looks good

Well this is what happens when you tighten everything up and still can’t get the alignment correct or within spec. Gotta shorten the upper arms a full inch to work properly. And I managed to cut and save the threaded bungs for the shortening also !

At least you don't have to use one of those pesky a-arm stretcher kits. Lol.

Following this one. Thats a bad *** build

 

[Joe-405]

Got the brake pedal fabrication finished. Added some metal to a stock pedal turned it upside down and welded a pivot point in. All I gotta do now is mount the master cylinder.

And oh yeah......... the correct ecu showed up today. So a wire harness and some fuel and coil packs and she might just start up and run finally !

Sad ball joint.

Sad ball joint.

Lol.........haven’t rewelded the upper arms yet.

 

[Joe-405]

Well it’s officially in alignment and will not be coming back apart finally ! Just gotta bolt the rack and pinion back on. I also repainted the a arms. This vht chassis paint is amazing. The new coil overs are in route also. Will be here next week sometime.

Sharp! Are you going to put any bling on It? Stickers and what not?

Probably not. But I will have to add some to race with the local guys for support. I have known the street outlaw guys since before the show when we were all out street racing prior to tv.

The only room I will have for stickers is gonna be on the side of the fuel cell so it will be limited for sure. And I will add a light bar and some kind of strip led taillight. Not really planning on anything else. And on the cage I was gonna weld in a sun visor to put something about being the world’s fastest Yerf dog if all works as it should.

 

[Joe-405]

No turning back now ! I hope I didn’t cut too many wires off for the efi stuff. And I got a better pic of the front end. And oh yeah the new shocks showed up also.

 

[BeaterofAincrad]

That looks amazing, good luck with the rest. You should see if they’d do a special with this in their show!

 

[Joe-405]

Got the dash and supporting brackets installed and welded. This dash is perfect !

 

[Fink343]

That looks Fantastic

 

[landuse]

Really looking good Joe!

 

[Joe-405]

Got it outside today and took some fresh pics for your enjoyment !

 

[BeaterofAincrad]

OoO looks lit

So it seems this buggy is more of a keep the wheels on the ground buggy than a fly through the air buggy. Does it do jumps?

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

In the light of day, it looks more car than kart. But I love it.

I don’t ever plan on jumping it.

Drag racing - SCCA solo - Sand Drags is gonna be it for this one.

And it would be cool to get a ASVE title and street legal it after everything works and the lights are installed
