If you have enough skills to bend and build a chassis. Why would you use all store bought brackets and mounts? Why would you spend a $1000 on beadlocks when you can build DIY for a little more than half that? That shifter is great for a drag car but in a buggy you need something that you can go from D to R really fast like a $100 to $150 dirt track shifter. You can but a set of Rocks for $1200. That is stock you would still have to debrake, lock and add pinion brakes to them. $1200 just became $1600 to $2800 depending on how you lock them and what brakes you use and that is with stock 16 spline shafts. If you are gonna spend $1000 on a motor and trans. Why would you not use an LS motor with injection? It would be cheaper than $2500 for a motor, ignition and propane fuel system. I am sure the jegs fans are great but I bet a $20 Taurus fan from pullapart will move just as much air (just ask around).


   One thing you left off of the list is Transfer case.


  I am not trying to put you or your work down or call you out. All I am trying to point out is that you need to stick around and learn a little before you open a shop or build anything for the public (friends included). I admire your enthusiasm but slow down and learn a little bit before you try to know everything. I understand you have build a couple of bolt together rigs (they must have been bolt together since you haven't got a welder) but this is a whole new game where not only could you get somebody hurt you could get them killed trying to learn what you are doing.
