Here are some pics of my family's new project. If you have any suggestions, I want to hear them. Thanks for looking.


This is a picture of the front bumper. I don't know,but I thought it looked ok..........

Another front bumper pic. I have a 6" wider beam, longer thru rod trailing arms, rack and pinion, with air shock suspension to be used.

Pedals.......

Rear bracing and roof rack pic......

Front bracing..........

That is a nice looking buggy & the front bumper is cool i wish I had one like it, keep the progress pics coming.

Where in TN are you located? I am in Knoxville.

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.

I have heard of it, we have property in Perry County little town called Linden. Next time we go down that way I will let you know and we can meet up if you like. I am about to build another motor and might have some stuff cheap.

The Wild Kids

Yep I know where Linden is........My sister has family there, SWEET!!!!!!!Let me know about buggy parts. I've got a cam for sell or trade. Engle and I don't remember size. I'll look next time I go to the shop. It is new in the box. Thanks for any help. stay in touch.

Nice job! and that bumper looks great! keep us updated on your progress.

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.

I agree looks real nice.

Hey.....Thanks for the comments! Please keep them coming. I got the front beam in today. So this weeking I am going to mock up the front end. I have in my longer trailing arms, 6" wider beam, and rack and pinion. I'll post pics on my progress. I might need some tips on setting up the rack. Thanks everyone!!!!!!!!!!!! Frank

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.

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.
