some of the vendors in our industry can the the ****ing slowest when you need them the most. It sucks when you have the time and skills and the parts just won't show up. keep at it skully

I amy have missed it, but why are you tearing apart the old buggy to make the new one? What are the main differences?

I don't think they are, it is getting some upgrades also.

Really? I made the same assumption when I saw the old buggy torn apart. I like the old buggy too.

The old buggy is setup for crawing and will be used in WE ROck, I know they added machined axles in the front and rear 60's for extra steering.

The new buggy is a XRRA rig with a 5.3 and Spider 9's. Unless they have changed their minds, this was the original plan.

Looks like you are going to make it....congrats!

I keep wondering about the axle build. It does mot look like you are using a jig or an alignment rod. Am I just missing it?

vanguard · Mar 19, 2008

Take your time buddy. There's really no rush. Besides, if you miss one race it's not a big deal.

;D

From this point on I'm not responsible for anything that ( I ) say on here.Be very careful who you givde your password out to so they can see the pictures.Even though he made a good post.But anywho,P I've seen the pics of your car (you'll learn thats what they call them in this sport) and that is one quality build.Anytime you put your time and money in one you can appricate someone elses build.Folks that run down to the Offroad Wal-mart and drop a few thousands for a bad ass ride has no idea what blood,sweat and get mad as hell and throw something and then pick it all back up and start all over again means.I'm running to Chattanooga in the morning to pick up some axles and C's.Then we will have everything to make it roll into the exhaust shop next week.Adams going to pull a late nighter tonight to try to finish all the welding so we can start putting it back together this weekend.Maybe it'll all come together.Good luck and see'ya the 19th.
