That is an Artec 4 banger quart crate. They make a larger one too.

That's what i thought it was but placement i wasnt sure. How hard will it be to get out between the seats? or can you go in from the back?

I don't think it will be too hard to access. I don't plan on needing to get any fluids out very often, just wanted to be able to carry a few quarts just in case. That was the best location that we could find for it that was out of the way but accessible if I did need something.

It's actually not bad to access. You can reach between the seats, unlatch and flip the lid up easily and it's far enough back that you'll never hit your elbow on it seated

Hood = and Dave at Oliver's got my front and intermediate driveshafts built and we installed them today. Won't be long now til it's coming home.

Chris got the rear taillight filler panel done. And a couple pics of the overall look close to ride height.

So clean

That thing looks great. Clean design.

I agree, looks like it's going to have some good room for taller folks.

Drool!

FYI, going to steal the gutter idea on the roof panel if I ever redo my metal roof.

I'm 6'4" so it's definitely got some room inside.

Just want to give a huge thanks to Chris @MarsFab for building a buggy that exceeded my expectations. Now it's up to me to finish it and not screw up all his amazing work.

The next couple days will be spent cleaning up my shop so I have enough room to start tearing the buggy down and get it ready for paint.

Please ignore how badly my trailer needs a fresh coat of paint.

Looks awesome and can't wait to see it finished out! Curious to see what it weighs.

Me too. I'm going to order a cheap Amazon crane scale to weigh the bare chassis. And a buddy is gonna borrow some racecar scales so we can weigh the complete buggy.

god damn thats a sexy looking buggy.

I'm really digging every photo, looking better and better.
