Buggy is under the reciprocating knife.
Radiator is gone and looking for a smaller ( the one I have is for a drag car) one for the rear. Pulled the fan off and now on to cutting the rest of the firewall out and adding sheet to make my own panels

Been busy over the holidays getting my plasma table up and going. Trying to get it going to help with the buggy. It will certainly help with quality. I have gotten my seats and most of everything, now just to build the front end.

I have a plasma cam dhc-2. Hyper therm plasma cutter, I am out cause of knee surgery, but before I was cut on one as able to clean up the shop and get some work done, 3 linking the front was tight. It was a learning experience...like always, rear suck down winch, front tube work, all in all, I'm ready to get back working on it,

Moved my drive train back 7.5" and lowered 1.5"

Was able to grab some beadlocks and used toyo stickies, don't know much about them. But I hope they were worth it. Got a great deal on the beadlocks, and started mounting my seats that I got last christmas, :

If anyone has info about the toyos, post up,

I have the seats mounted, I have the rear radiator mounted, I am in the middle of mounting the marine exhaust tubing for the radiator and moving onto floors and brake mounts, trying to keep factory brake booster and clutch , just cause they worked so well, we shall see
