My buggy build. Does anyone make build threads anymore?

onboard air?

Damn dude, what is that gauge for that you need one that goes to 120 psi?

He wants allllll the boosts.

Actually I don't think mine go that high. I just looked up the brand to get the picture so when looking at the model it corresponds as a reference. I just wanted to buy water proof gauges.

Haha all of it!

So this is how today has gone for me. I cut off the rear head bar because it was actually not the way I wanted it in the beginning but my inner child wanted to see progress when I got to that part and I put it in anyway. It was supposed to stick out in the rear a lot more than it was and I decided to see if it would grow on me. It did not. So I added the new bar and then got frustrated because I let my arrogance get the better of me and did t take my time to get my notch just right. So I moved to getting the radiator mount built and installed. I let Ashley weld that up for me while I was doing other things. Then I was by myself so holding the radiator, the bracket and trying to weld it in got me even more frustrated but I got it tacked in. I've gone multiple ways on how layed over I should have this radiator and I think I've settled on this. Stepping back I like the look, I'll see how I feel about it tomorrow and either fix the notch and weld it in or remake it.

I regretted no spending more time in CAD on mine. Many hours of trial and errors (and costly too) could have been avoided if I spent time locking everything in 3D before.

Chris, I'm eager to see what's coming, you have some skills for sure.

Thank you, I'm not sure how I missed this.

 

[chris@whiterhino]

You got some blinging parts, tools, and know-how!

Thank you

OH! Yes those are caps. I hand machined those but here is what they look like done on the CNC.

I just wanted something different. I wasn't sure how it would even look until I made them. When I drew them in Solidworks they looked cool but things sometimes look different once made.

Helps if I attach a picture.

I wonder if I solid them for $3 -$4 each if anyone would buy them. I have a couple different designs.

 

[TBItoy]

I think they'd sell for more like $10/ea for "fancy" ones.

I'm cheap, so I'd never buy them... but I'd be happy to weld them in someone else's rig.

 

[chris@whiterhino]

Well I worked on getting my aluminum overflow tank finished up. I haven't had much time for anything else honestly. Made everything in house.

Got any updates?
