My name is Chad Smith of Minford, Ohio. I have been into buggies for about 2 years and I just got it done in time for the Turkey Run in Lewis county, KY. Image

Thanks alot! This is a 2005 Beeline Packrat Chassis, as you can see, it is loaded on the dash bar with Auto-meter guages, Oil press., Volts, Oil temp., 5" tach with shift lights and belt and oil lights. I have modified the frame up front to accept FOX shocks and on the rear double-hoops to accept the Fox shocks, I have installed adjustable torsion keys in the rear and it is loaded with sway-away torsion bars (SWEET!!) and sway-away spring plates notched for more grond clearance. The engine is a new 2276cc block with a CB performance 4340 chromoly crank, CB performance 4340 H-beam rods, Engle FK-7 cam, Empi 1.4:1 ratio rockers and 041 heads, soon to have a set of CB performance Ultra-wedge port heads with CB chromoly ratio rockers, carbs are Weber IDF 44's along with matched manifolds (where the are not staggered) the tranny is a late-model 091 6-rib loaded with a super-diff and hardened reverse gear. I am currently running stock gears now, but soon to have the tranny re-done with all 4 gears so I can have higher 1st gear and lower 2nd gear. i will have 3rd and 4th changed also. I run a Kennedy 1700lb. pressure plate w/kennedy 4-puck clutch. The wheels and tires are Weld Pro-stars up front (15x4) and Mini-mag tires (Mickey Thompsons) rear one are Weld Late model bead-lock wheels (15x14) and Firestone cut flotation tires (31x15.50x15). It also have a set of Wilwood brakes all around it with a set of CNC brake and clutch pedals, the cutter brake is CNC also. The front brake is managed by a small cylinder that I got from Swart's Race cars. Front steering is done by a Saco rack with racing strut bars with chromoly heim joints at both ends (also from Swartz) and ends with a Grant steering wheel.
