Hey.....I'm located half way between Memphis and Nashville. A small town North of I-40 called Huntingdon. I'm also looking for parts if you or someone you know might can help with. I hope to be posting more pics soon. If you or anyone has any suggestions or comments, please let me know. It has been about 10 years since i have messed with buggies, so I think I have forgotten everything I ever knew. |

Looking very nice. You might want to mock up your front end to check for clearance for your tie rods. From the pictures it looks like they might hit the frame where they pass through. You might be ok with the longer trailing arms but it's something that you need to check. Fab work looks really good. |

Whats up guys. I got some new pics of the front beam and extended trailing arms. Keep the comments coming please 
The beam was built by an awsome fabricator from Alabama. I've got the rack and pinion, tie rods, and rack mount. I am however looking for some combo spindles if anyone can help. Thanks for looking. |

Progress & Buggy look good, I can't help but notice in the last pic you have a small winch set in place ( maybe figuring layout ). I just wanted to let you know I began with a small one like that it was a Ramsey 3500#, I thought it would be sufficient, boy was I WRONG.........The whinch itself broke loose from my mounts, I will try to post some pics of it this weekend. I just don't want anyone else to experience the same problems I did. Bruce |

Thanks for the help. I was going to use it but when i put it in place, after i mount the rack and everything, there will be no place for the cable to run. Your right, it is a MICKY MOUSE winch. 1 cool thing about it though..........It cost me $30 brand new. |

Better than no winch. The buggy looks real nice. I too like the bumper. Dean |

I think i am going to cage it into the rear (motor cage) Bend some tubes around it. I am looking for some coilovers or air shocks for the front. Also looking for some combo spindles. I've also been toying with the idea of air bags for the rear but can't decide. Currently I have 27mm swayaway torsions. I just can't make the decision..........Thanks for any comments and/or help. |
