Well, it's finally my turn to get the attention of a new buggy build. I'm going with what in my opinion is the best frame you can have, a single seater built by Chuck Jones. I'll try to post as many pics as possible throughout the build as we go.

Gettin' the torsion bolted in the jig:

Front beam an torsion in the jig. Ready for the bars now.
Image

Makin' progress
Image

All in about 6 hours of work: floor bars, elbow bars, main hoop, and windshield.
Image

I'll post more pictures as soon as we get more, I'll keep y'all updated. :D

Thank ya.
It'll be sorta like Dad's, just with my own twist on it. It'll be unique for sure, no two of Chuck's frames are the same! I'm so excited to get it done!
