Why not start over on Greg's? Looks like a ton of work to do what you are doing.

I tried, got to go with what the customer wants.

New motor? What you doing with the old motor? It seemed like it had plenty of power. ;D

Thanks for not taking that the wrong way. Just seems like a lot of work when you are so fast at building them.

It's around $7000-8000 to get the chassis, and ALL the mounts and other BS set up in one.

I tried to get him to sell his, after I just fixed the minimal crap. I figured he could get 3000-3500 for it since it would be ready to bolt everything in. He said he was happy with it the way it is. Just gonna make a few minor changes, and fix all the f'ed tube. Next guy in line will be happy that he don't have to wait for complete build before his anyway

.

Subframe is all gone, other buggy in the shop will be done tommoro.

No, that is #11, I think. The guy brought it back to Jim to have more done. Its got a vortech huffing into a 5.0 under the hood.

All that plasma/grinding looks like a blast. You have a little chinese boy to do that for you yet?

BTW, when your schedule opening up for the 5.3 swap? :flipoff1:
