back rims

Ok, you got me...

A little more paint.. I really like the look of the undercoating it gives a cool wrinkle effect and the gloss clear coat i shoot over it really make it look unique.... Im about 75% done with paint hope you all like it so far.

It's a bit late now but, IIWM, I'd have capped the ends of the engine cradle. If water gets in, you'll never get it out

i know i have some little rubber caps i found im hoping they will fit or else i am going to drill a little drain hole

Its been raining all day so i couldnt paint my spindles to finally finish this project but i did end up going to my fathers shop.. Long story short i got a really cool steering wheel for free! cut up the old wheel and made it my adapting hub looks great!!

 

[Nodroz]

Wow!!! That steering wheel looks amazing!

 

[n1kogr]

Thanks! I think it would look even better if it were in the buggy!! (Darn rain!!!)

 

[OzFab]

Nice

Man, that thing is quick, the engine sounds like it's not working very hard & it looks great.
Pity you weren't finished for the build off, you'd have my vote

Oh, one more thing: I think the thread title is very wrong!

 

[n1kogr]

Thanks Fabroman! I never knew anything about a build off oh well. I think the gearing is great on this thing and may i add i have never gotten into 5th haha but smaller rear tires like 18x10-8 might be better pull down the gear ratio a bit.. Thanks for the compliments this thing was a blast to build now all i want to do
is ride hahaha
