Man that's probably by far the best looking 4 seater I have ever seen. Looks awesome. :dblthumb:

I'm in. Nice looking rig. Your work is top notch.

I'd like to see some of your two seat builds.

This was my first buggy build, 2 seater. After building it I made some changes to the front design that I put into the above 4 seater.

4-500 lbs I'd guess. The .188 tubing adds up pretty quick.

Any updates?

I'd like to see the rest of this build. Or atleast some finished pics. That's a sweet 4 seater. Have u built any other 4 seater buggies.

I don't think much has been done since the last pics, I'll try to get some updates from the owner. This was the first 4seater I've built.
