I love watching build threads, so I decided to finally start one for myself. I might not be able to update it amazingly often, but I'll try to keep pictures coming as I make progress.
This is a Berrien Warrior frame.
The plan as of this posting is to put a Camaro 3.4L V6 engine in it, mated with a side-shift vanagon tranny.
So far I have the basic frame welded up, the seat mounts made and tacked in, the balljoint beam mounted (frame was made for KP) and the pedal assembly put together (needs to be cleaned up).
Trying to design a new type of steering bearing using electrical tape.
Your standard warrior frame. Soon to be semi-heavily reinforced.
Powerplant. Plan on getting Dean's 3x5 arms to hold this bad boy up. (Love AC, but don't have the money. I'm not a hater either way!) I love the sound of a V6.
Another angle. You get the idea. (don't pay any attention to my lack of space, I've learned to live with it, hah)
As I go through this, please feel free to point things out and give me constructive criticism. This is my first build and I've only ridden in one buggy in my life! Everything I've learned is pretty much from this site and people in it. (special thanks to Larry - kybuggy1, Tony - CrazyBone, Dave - DVS1, Curt, and Dean).
Thanks a lot guys!

) Anybody know what width rims you need for those?
