BeerJ's BuzzBuggy Build-o-rama!

Thanks man, I've got more motivation now.

And I didn't steal them but my wife asked what I wanted for my birthday and I jokingly said tires and sent her a link. Can't believe that worked. Haha

Re:

Probably not good enough to get a set of tires like that

Gotta try to move the chassis over a foot or 2 so I have room to work around it. She's getting big now.

Little work on the dark side of the buggy.

Hell, I pretty much quit checking the thread because of the updates via text. I'm gonna have to check in more often now! :flipoff1:

Beerj · Dec 18, 2015

Not really a whole lot going on at the moment. I think I've got 6 pieces left to do on the outside but somehow I'm out of tabs. Gonna go steel on the inside to make things a bit easier. Front hubs are done. Also got my radiator back so I can start on mounting that as well.

Certainly not weld porn but hopefully it holds.

Looks like weld porn for 98% of "welders/fabricators" out there.
Good on ya and cheers!! Keep it up!!

Beerj · Dec 23, 2015

I appreciate the compliments Chris. I'm really kicking myself for not ordering more tabs sooner. I'm off work till jan 4th and was hoping to have all of the sheet metal, inside and out, done by then. Hoping Santa got my list.

pholmann · Dec 23, 2015

What kind of tabs are you using?

Beerj · Dec 23, 2015

Unfortunately, it takes a while for me to get stuff from poly even when it's not the holidays.
Here's the screws.

And the tabs.

Buggy is looking great. Keep at it.

Beerj · Dec 23, 2015

Thanks Ian. I hope Todd doesn't mind what I did to it. I'm trying to keep things in line with what he started with. I'm not sure if it'll ever compete in SRRS but I want to look into some of these race series that are just timed courses setup to run a bunch of trails around an orv park. I think it could possibly be competitive at that level.

Beerj · Jan 1, 2016

Finally, I'm done with the exterior panels. Man, people told me they take time but I never would've thought it would be this long. Still not sure how I'm going to finish them. Might go brushed or machine finish. We'll see but I've got a floor to build now.

Great work man! That looks clean!

Eddyj · Jan 1, 2016

You got a first ride date set yet?

Beerj · Jan 1, 2016

Thanks guys. As far as the first ride, I'm shooting for end of the summer. I've still got a long ways to go. All suspension, floors, driveshafts, fuel cell, exhaust, axle innerds, steering, all plumbing and electrical plus all of the little stuff that always takes time and money. We'll see what happens but I'd really like it to be ready for fall crawl at Harlan this year. Plus I've got the wifeys yj to build at the same time.
