[QUOTE="Dan_Goodwin, post: 574507, member: 4960"] Since I’m home this semester on a work rotation I decided it was time to make some progress on 2013 before I needed to get back to working on lake toys for the summer. I ordered some 1” .095 DOM, 2.5x1” and 2x1” .120 tube to build the back half of the frame. While the wall thickness is a tad (okay…a lot) overkill, I wanted this to be able to handle an upgraded motor in the future, just in case. I began by transferring the bracketry from the Polaris frame to the new center frame member: [URL=http://s62.photobucket.com/user/dgoodwin10/media/IMG_0317_zpsdpj6w1yk.jpg.html][IMG]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h81/dgoodwin10/IMG_0317_zpsdpj6w1yk.jpg[/IMG][/URL] That was then welded to the frame along with the other members to create the motor deck and rear bracing: [URL=http://s62.photobucket.com/user/dgoodwin10/media/IMG_0340_zpsuqjt8kou.jpg.html][IMG]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h81/dgoodwin10/IMG_0340_zpsuqjt8kou.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The Warrior came with a parts motor I used for mock up: [URL=http://s62.photobucket.com/user/dgoodwin10/media/IMG_0353_zps9zryuuv1.jpg.html][IMG]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h81/dgoodwin10/IMG_0353_zps9zryuuv1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I kept the shock tabs to use as a jig, so now it was time to tube the rear of the buggy out: [URL=http://s62.photobucket.com/user/dgoodwin10/media/IMG_0326_zpshhiflwcm.jpg.html][IMG]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h81/dgoodwin10/IMG_0326_zpshhiflwcm.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s62.photobucket.com/user/dgoodwin10/media/IMG_0369_zpshv13erz6.jpg.html][IMG]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h81/dgoodwin10/IMG_0369_zpshv13erz6.jpg[/IMG][/URL] With weight being such an issue on a baja car many teams run a hammock style seat, which works but is far from comfortable.
