Well I have had to much time on my hands and have started thinking and planning my next build. The mud holes and dusty conditions have lead me to build the Woodsbuggy baja with full tube chassis Honda J35 V6, Windows that roll up, AC, Heat, power steering and windshield wipers. More than likely I will use a lot of parts from my current limo, suspension rear shocks, and springs, trans and drive line.

I figure the Baja will keep the wheel base in check and allow me to still have a three seater with a rear bench.

Just a reminder for all those making changes to the frame "always slug a butt weld" or this could be you. We will point and laugh at you once we are sure you are not hurt

This looks like me back in 07 didn't have any fabricating skills or knowledge at the time and I but welded my front tubes when I rolled my front end way to far back and after a few rides that's what it was looking like then dvs1 helped me out and got it super strong for me it was nice learning the pros and cons of doing stuff like this. More so these cons of it :oops:

Sounds like a cool build (no pun intended on your plans with AC). The J35 is a great and very abumdant powerplant too. Auto tranny? Or are you going with a VW style one?
