Alright this is my Buggy iv been working on, Im not quite done with it there is alot still needing to be done.But i figured id put up some pics and see what you guys think.


Here is what it looked like when i first bought it.

As you can see not a bad looking buggy but there was alot of stuff done wrong.
So where is some pics of what it looks like now keep in mind there is still alot more going to be done when i get more time and money


Image

Image
Yes i know the seats should not be mounted under the frame its one of the biggest things that annoys me im hoping to change that this winter but to do it ill have to change some of the main roll cage to make more head room

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Built this dash out of 50thouasnds aluminum and had it powdercoated black,
The gauges are ok i bought them 1. cuz they where cheap and 2. because they had built in dummy lights and buzzers all n all there are ok not the best but i really like having the dummy lights and buzzer they have saved my a$$ many times


Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

accidentally hit a piece of concrete ended up buying a new front beam, hoping to make new wider front bumper later on to help avoid this again

Image

well i hoped you guys enjoyed my build feel free to comment

Put new cage on it


Added front brakes, i wanted to get those damn spindle mounts off, the wheels were not built symmetrical so you could not balance them

Plus I wanted to be able to change wheels out easier incase I wanted to put other tires on ie sand tires

And I gave me a good excuse to buy new cnc pedal assembly :)

I wanted to go to 5 lug cuz no one makes a front 4 lug kit that is worth a shit but I already have to many sets of wheels that are 4 lug ....soo lol


Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Had a cnc clutch but it was leaking so I sent it back to cnc to get fixed little disappointing ..but shit happens

This buggy has tons of fab work. Only thing that gets me is instead of making brackets for the brakes... Someone cut the arms to run them thin junk-ass brackets

I don't think they were cut, it looks like that's how those arms were made. I could be wrong, I honestly have no idea where or who made those arms. I thought they were latest rage but idk , I just bought 51.1mm sentra calapers and I'm going to weld me some probably 1/4 brackets on them this thanks giving.

Thanks again for all the compliments everyone !

Here is some more pics of when I chopped the main roll cage , the reason we did this is because the seats were set under the frame about 4 inches due to the fact the cage was to short.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

The frame was actually twisted about 1"
So we used those to straighten it out then welded some good cross bracing to keep it from twisting

Old cage

If you cant fix it with a hammer it aint worth fixin!!!!

Cool build, Now a little about the big buggy in the back ground. Yes the 1 with the V-6 or V-8... I see it hiding back there. Engine, tranny, "V" drive to rear end?

Mike makes some strong stuff.
I think if a truck runs over my buggy (18 wheeler) the arms will be ok to use on the next buggy. :lol: :lol:
Matt, are those 3 x 3's?

Yes sir 3x3, my old arms got bent (partly because they are cheap and partly because my suspension is not set up 100% correct in the rear )
But anyways I was telling my buddy, if I bent these arms I didn't make it lol
