That is some nice progress your making on your build looks like you have been busy. What are the dividers between you pedals master cylinders all about? You picked out a color for the new frame yet or a theme?

The divider is just a little extra support. I am building my own pedal assembly. I will be using old model chevy master cylinders for both the clutch and brake. I am planning on painting it orange. My Grandpa's buggy is orange.

Well I can't argue with you on the color scheme there seems to work good for me. What length control arms you planning on running on the back of your 4 seater?

Stock width trailing arms, but the are 1.5" longer. I wanted 2x3's, but they will have to wait. I still don't have a good transmission.

That is what I am shooting for if no one gets sick or hurricanes hit the shop. I started this 2 years ago.

There is a bunch of people going if I am up and running.
