This is friends car. Chassis has been sitting for about 10 yrs. With stock suspension it has only an 86'' wheelbase. He has rolled this car about a dozen times so i'm looking forward to seeing it together again. He has added even more bracing than it already had,a warrior ft beam and some body work. Its being sandblasted right now.

Check it over very carefully.
If that frame that has ever been outside for any period water will get in them.
Water freezes over the winter and splits the tube, usually the bottom rail.

Good luck, looks pretty BA......... 8)

That is awesome... It looks like a NASA moon rover... I think you win for the safest buggy on woodsbuggy.

Glad someone is having fun. I'm also out of retirement and the only action the rail gets is back and forth from the house to shop.
