You can see how small this chassis is if you compare it to the typical height of the Predator chassis beside it in pic 3. The rear headbar is only 19" high and i still have 7" of clearance. It is also 13" narrower

Great lookin chassis. The only thing I think needs attention is the width of the roof over your head. My 2 seater had a narrow roof and my head hit the ground in one of my rolls, thats why both my buggies cabs are well outside my shoulders. Just my thought though. Keep up the good work.

Nice SS frame. Are you planning on adding parallels to the "X" on the top rear? It would seem all the stress would be only at the center junction .

Yeah, the intersection, as long as that run is. I like to over all look of it, I would have done a few things differently. Definitely a build I'll be paying attention to. Nice work.

I love that X design. Paint the buggy red, the X blue , with 13 white stars on it. Well , leave some more room for more stars if Obama keeps on getting his way...

I don't build production chassis. Each chassis i build is per order so that everything fits each individual. There $1500.00 plus front and rear torsion cores. Includes all tabs,mounts,skid pan and tree bars.

Yes, thats were the top mount of my coil-overs is going. The frame in these pictures has very little bracing installed.
