Buggy Project?

caglezxj · May 25, 2009

What do you guys think about this buggy? I am not good at pricing a rockwell buggy, still getting the details if it is locked front and rear.

the chassis don't look like it has all the tube work done...

caglezxj · May 25, 2009

yeah it is still project status, but rolling.

Those chasses lines remind me of something... laughing1

I agree. I think it's a good price for what you get, assuming nothing needs to be completely re engineered

caglezxj · May 25, 2009

Yeah, it needs some looking over. Just wonder why you get so close on a buggy and stop. But oh well maybe the owner will chime in here.

jtreeves1 · May 26, 2009

the motor needs to be a ls 7
thats what i would drop in there!!

i like it but 8k it better have lockers

B.DRAKE · May 26, 2009

Thats a good lookin buggy josh...i dont understand why the owner got that far and stopped but i think its a good deal and has potential to be a awesome buggy

I thought you were gonna buy a roller from Jimmy at EOR? I thought JR told me that. I would stick with tons personally, but that's just me

Whoever gets it needs to cut those bars out on the windshield.

Yeah Jimmy is pricing me the 321 buggy with rear steer . I just happened to see that buggy with rockwells.

talked to the owner they have spools and everything is new on the axles. And the price has dropped. Might not be a bad deal for me to complete this project.

Just my opinion but I think with the resources you have you could put the same thing together for less green.

321 and done.

Cheaper and cleaner. Re-work it here and there to make it "your own" Transfer the Jeep stuff to it and sell the Jeep chassis to the next guy on the block to pay for 321.

Jeep is gone right? You sold it complete. That 321 was gonna be Jimmy's rig if I am thinking of the right one. 4 Wheel Steer and it has spider knuckles and brakes right? That is a super sick chassis

This one?

My Jeep is gone, it sold yesterday spur of the moment. So I will be starting from scratch. I am pinched for time so building one from the ground up would take me forever. I am going to ride up to EOR and look over it, got to see how much it is going to cost me to finish it. I know the rear needs axles made and Jimmy has a LS1 and a built th400. I like the 321 buggy. And also that it is rear steer.
