Looking Good Daniel.....We could've modified the front end for you like that at no extra charge.

Don't be afraid to ask about changes to our chassis'.....we like building them different ways to get the customer exactly what they want!

Got a little more done, steering column in

Bump stop pads done

Headlights mounted

Shock tower support in

Should be ready to tear down for final weld this weekend

Updates:

Danel got a pimp ass mount for the Atlas... the powertrain is mounted at the motor mounts, back of the heads, trans, and front and rear Atlas outputs

So if theres a pile of parts on the ground...

Could only mean one thing....


Shes naked!!!

Time to finish weld the chassis and get some color on it!

Started welding everything up last night, decided to take the buggy up to EOR for the interior. I know they will do a much better job than I could. Going to go ahead and paint the chassis and mount everything permanent so when they get the interior done I won't have to pull it back apart!

I used rustoleum :****:

i primered it with Rustoleum automotive primer then wiped it down to remove any overspray , then i used the Rustoleum hammered finish universal for the base coat, then when back with regular rustoleum hammered finish for the top coat.
