ColeWorx's latest rig built for Mark Statum. Mark wanted to be able to run some races such as ECORS with this rig, so this build had to take into account several race-required features. The focus for this rig was to be light, fast, and race ready. ColeWorx usual focus is trail rigs that can handle the most insane beatdowns, with innovative chassis designs and show-quality finishing touches. This one was no different in that respect, however it also had the added features that set it apart from the usual rig you see roll out of the shop, such as a race horn for example! The motor is an LS2, with custom built in-house 180 headers squeezed into the small chassis. The Transmission is a top of the line Powerglide with every upgrade you can have to one, followed up with an Atlas case. The axles are Dana 60 front with RCV shafts, and rear 14 bolt. The suspension was set up for 8" of uptravel front and rear. Of course, one of the most obvious features is this is the first rig to roll out of ColeWorx's shop on 39" Krawler Reds. Looking forward to seeing this thing tearing up the trails and races in the near future!

this is some of Coleworx best work, it should work as good or better than it looks
 
I bet after they see how much power these LS motors make they won't be using those outta date small blocks any more.

Brian, Is this the buggy that you were telling me about at Hawk Pride? flashemifyougotem As usual Top Notch, I'm old school. But the LS motors are so easy to tune. Has anyone solved the oiling problems with a LS?
