I am currently waiting on parts for my new frame so I can run them down to Jeff to finish my frame, I will be posting pictures on here as I go. It is going to be 1 sweet ride! It is going to have Fox coil-overs (10" front 12" rear), power steering, Tweeds combo 3" drop spindles, Tweeds 2.5" chromoly front trailing arms, Tweeds linkpin and bushings, 6" wider chromoly beams with coil-over towers, Kirkey seats with Simpsons safety harness, rear
chromoly trailing arms, Wilwood brakes all-around (2-pistons front, 4-pistons rear I am thinking about running Wilwood pedals because they have larger bores available 7/8" or 1" for the brakes, and will still use CNC steering brake handles) Jamar Pro-X front hubs with slotted rotors, and many more!! If anybody have any inputs to help me along with the new buggy build will be greatly appreciated, wish me luck Thanks Chad P.S. What color will look good for this project? It will be powdercoated, I am thinking Race Red or Gunmetal Metallic.

I like gunmetal grey. That is what mine is. F Y I the biggest cutting brake is 7/8 bore single handle. They don't dual handle that big. According to McKenzies anyways.

Same as mine, can't wait to get it. Won't be long and it will be here I am hoping just a few more weeks give or take. Going to be getting the flooring soon so that when I get the frame I can get it cut and ready to install.

I give many thanks to Jeff, Darrin, and their family for putting much effort in their business to produce the baddest frames money can buy. Thanks again for your effort, I will posting more pics as I go through the setup process and keep an eye on this for more. Enjoy!

I can't wait to go pick mine up. This divorce has set me back a little bit in money and time. I hope to have mine done really soon and ride before the end of the year.
