Well its time for another update!!!


We did a lot of fit and finish work around the buggy. Cleaning up the fender wells, final fit on the hood, cowl, and just all around fit and finish work.

The edge of the dash.

6.0 engines are not to pretty to look at so we ended up covering the battery and engine with some sheet metal.

This is the start of the easily removable windshield frame.

 

[John Galbreath Jr.]

We needed a good place to mount the amp and the CB out of the way and keep things clean.

So we went up top with them.

Then to cover them up David built a cover for them.

All of the wires run down through tubes to hide every thing.

We finished up the tube work on the front to protect the hood and head lights.

The we took it all the way back down and got it ready for powder coating.

This is a few pictures of the bracing under the trans and t case. The skid plate will mount directly to this.

Headed off to the powder coater.

I CAN NOT GET A PICTURE TO SHOW THE REAL COLOR OF THIS BUGGY. It looks dull and blue or light purple in the pictures. It real life it is a deep rich purple. Every one that sees it in person says " I probably wouldn't have thought purple would have looked good, but that looks great!"

Well as soon as it hit the shop we tapped it up and went to work. I forgot to get good pics of it with nothing in or on it.

But here you guys go.

CNC brake set up

Be Cool Radiator

the entire cooling system it plumed with -16 fittings.

This is a new item we are adding to the product line up at Wide Open Design. A -16 fitting to convert the thermostat fitting on a LS engine.

Some gussets for the link mounts

You can see here how we built the cross members to clear the mufflers.

We got back the pieces from the chrome shop. There are more pictures of this stuff to come.

 

[John Galbreath Jr.]

This is the closest picture I have to show the real color of the buggy.
