The rear torsion housing came from Dan's Performance Parts in California, they have a website http://www.dansperformanceparts.com/bug ... frame1.htm. I am using coil-overs and there is no torsion bars involved though. If you need any more info on where I got the parts... I will be more than glad to tell you you where I got them.

Wandering if you have made any more progress on your buggy. If all goes well I will paint mine tomorrow and hope that it will be done and running this weekend. Wish you luck on it.

I have been working on it all weekend, I got the floorpan on, battery box in, oil tank mounted, fuel cell completely mounted, finished welding up the shifter linkage, mounted gas, clutch, rear brake, front brake pedals. Will post pics soon. Should be ready to powder coat within 2 weeks from now :mrgreen:

It is ready to go, but have to take it to him tomorrow. I should have it back sometime next week like on Monday or Tuesday and then will put it back together during my 7-days off starting next Thursday all the way to the following Wednesday and should have it back together and possibly running so I can test it to make sure everything is O.K. I will post some more pictures on here soon of the frame completed before I tore it back apart. Stay tuned!!
