I am going to start this thread and hope Jduck (Fabbin' Cabin) will chime in and update it.
A little back story first, last year Jason contacted me and said he would like to do something for our 10th Anniversary Wheelin4Warriors Rock Ride, I asked him what he had in mind? His reply was that he would like to build a Chassis to be auctioned off, I was floored by the offer, we have discussed it on and off ever since. So a couple of weeks ago he called and said that he was ready to get started on it. So I started a thread on MidGaOffroad, since we have been helping host the ride for the last few years, members over there donated the money to cover tube and consumables, Jduck is providing the skills and labor. He designed a nice "Trail Buggy" and got busy. This will be pretty much a blank chassis so the winning buyer will be able to finish it out the way they want and "make it their own". We (The whole crew that puts this ride on) can't thank him enough for pushing some paying jobs off to make this chassis a reality. So if you ever thought you wanted a buggy, want to help a great Fund Raiser, be at Morris Mountain next year on Memorial Day weekend, Saturday May 27, 2017, and get ready to bid!
Here's a quick spin around of what the chassis should look similar to when it's done. The orange tubes are going to be .188 and the grey are .120 all 1.75 DOM (He has made some changes up front, but hasn't shown me the new design)
