I've been building this buggy for 5yrs and am finally getting close to fireing it up!! Here's a few specs

THe Chassis is a Mirage By Dan Beaudaux from Hemlock MI.
120" Wheelbase w/ 18" travel @ each corner
4.3 V6 chevy w/ Hecker adapter and flywheel
Custom made Headers
091 Trans
930CVs w/ Sway-Away axles
300m torsions
Sway-away race runner shocks w/ Coils on the front
Rack and pinion steering W/ Custom made Aluminum Tierods
10 gallon fuel cell
31x15.50x15 Mickey Thompson Baja Claws (all four wheels)
Four wheel disk brakes
Beard seats in the front
RJS 5 point harness in the front Four point in the back

I still need to Get the Wiring done, The brake lines need to be run, mount the seat belts, mount the Intella dash, And plumb the radiator. I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Thats a nice frame! It looks like it's gonna be a sweet ride. Is it gonna be sand or woods?

Thanks, It will primarily be a trail ride and street machine but I do have a set of paddles for silver lake a couple times per year.

It will be Candy apple red powder coat with clear chrome over it. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do on the body yet.

I like everything about it except where you installed the fuel cell. Sweet looking ride.

Looks wild. I was kinda wondering about the fuel cell also. Tell us why you put it there. I was going to mount mine up front but someone wiser than me gave me a better idea.

I put it up front simply because that's where it fits. I had it mounted over the tranny but when I needed to mount my radiator that is the only place I could find. I didn't want my radiator mounted up high behind the back seat because if it got a hole in it I didn't want it burning my kids. Also on another site a few of the guys said I needed a "b" piller what do you guys think?

It definately wouldnt hurt. Thats alot of roof area, and very important cargo in the back.
