You might not reconnise the gas tank but it is the one he built for your buggy and had to change out to make your radiator mount.

That gas tank is a very slick design. We tried to use it in mine just wasn't any room.

Tim, I think you may want to upgrade the tires. And maybe move them back a bit, just an idea :wink:

OK
Just got back from Beeline buggys in Kentucky yesterday and everything is looking great.
Tony has already doubled all the upright bars and is working on installing a custom race brace in the front.
This thing is realy looking cool to me. I will post new pics. soon.
Also thought about the name some more. What do you all think about Xpedition seeing as he already has Tracker and Explorer????? XPEDITION

I know some arn't going to like the extra bars but I like it and theres not another one like it!
Anyway I am not planning to be doing major hill climping and I have a 2.0 bus motor that will push 150-200 HP when I am finnished with it and that should be enough to push it around pretty good.

Man he can do some fabricating. Very cool looking. Curious about the second windshield bar. Wondering if that will be in your way once you get your supension seats in. A couple of connector tubes would look good there too.

No it wont be in the way I have climbed in and out with no prob. The windsheald will be in the bars closest to the inside and I figure the outer bars will protect it from branches.
YEA if you can think it he can fab it.
