Re: Unnamed buggy build maybe call it indecision
Mike got this started for me about the time my father in law passed away and I didn't have time to mess with it. The original start was not exactly the way I would have gone. So I voiced it even though I felt like a **** since my buddy was just helping me out. So he changed a few things as per my request and this is what we got. The dual b piller was all Mike. I think it will turn out awesome. I'm just taking my time with it as hard as it may be.

Re: Unnamed buggy build maybe call it indecision
Hell yea! I'll be following along!! Looks good man. Question.. Is it sideways in the garage? now we know ur not that dumb, but I would bet someone has built a rig and not been able to get it out of garage! Haha. Can't wait to see the progress. Be glad u have buddies to help. I have one that I trust to help and he doesn't even off-road.. Just drag races. How nice it would be to have some more folks with the same interest near by. Get to it buddy!

Re: Unnamed buggy build maybe call it indecision
Yes it is sideways in the garage. It will definitely come out when done though. I have it turned that way as to not interfere with the bender which is mounted in the center of the garage. It's a 30x30 garage. Is not blocking the 16 ft door so I can still get side jobs in and out.

Re: Unnamed buggy build maybe call it indecision
Ha! Sounds like we Have damn near the same set up.. Putting the bender in the middle, welded to the metal support pole in the middle of my garage might I add. Haha. Looking forward to progress buddy! I wanna build a chassis so bad.. Just want it to be right.. That's where I may struggle. Ha

Re: Unnamed buggy build maybe call it indecision
There are plenty of people on here that know how to build a chassis structurally correct. All you would have to do is ask. I can't say that I even know all I need to know. The biggest thing is don't be afraid to ask for advice. Travis from barnyard fab it is a good friend of mine and he is who ask when I need advise. I still need so many things that cost so much money so I have to take side jobs to help finance my buggy build. Plus I'm putting an LS in my GTO at the moment so that is sucking up quite a bit of my play money.

Re: buggy build "indecision"
Looking forward to it!!! And I have to tell you, that front end is badass my friend. One thing I was not blessed with was patience... Although I guess it would be a lot easier if i had a rig to wheel while i was building one in the basement. Hope to get to that place in life one day. I'll be waiting for some more updates! Keep at bud.

It definitely helps to have one to wheel while building the other. I am one of the most impatient people so this is a must for me. Ill update soon.

I don't have facetube so he sends me the pics. I guess I could drive 10 miles down the road and see for myself, but I don't like people under my feet while I tiring to work so I assume everyone is that way.

Travis said it will be done this week. So hopefully I can start feeding my things in it and have a roller within a week or two. I am stoked.

Went by and checked it out this evening and it's even more badass in person. Pictures don't do it justice. I can't wait to get started on it.
