Here is my single seater frame that I will be building over the next few months. I hope to have it ready for this summer. I have already made some progress since I got it, and I will be posting pics as I build it. If you guys have any suggestions along the way, or any helpful tips, post it and let me know. Here is a photo of the frame the day I got it.

I'm glad you guys like the frame!
I will be in high gear this week, starting to put this buggy together! I have some parts for it, but I know I will need more. I already got some stub axles from Dave Hix, since I have bus axles, and a disc brake setup for type 1.
Thanks to DavidK for pushing me to get this frame, and Thanks to Dave Hix for cutting me a deal on the stubs!
For right now it looks like I will be running a 3 rib, and an AE code dual port, but that's just for now.

I also have another motor, but I have no idea what's wrong with it. I know it doesn't have tins on it, and that's about all I know at this point. The guy that I got the buggy from said it would pull the front wheels off of the ground, when it ran. If I don't use it DavidK has first shot at it.

I have made some progress. Today I picked up a set of rear tires from Dave Hix, and a few other things. So far everything is going ok, the rear trans mount needs straightened a little, and I need to do some welding, but other than that I am very happy with the frame.
Now I just need to get my motor together, so I can start running.
Thanks again to DavidK for all of your help!!!
Here's a pic of my progress.
