[QUOTE="GT_Buggy, post: 486446, member: 6535"] Time to ditch the good ol' leaf springs and build a real buggy. Old one is for sale here. Taking engine, tcase and trans from it for the new one. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/sat/snw/4938047033.html New buggy will be caddy 500, Reid case Ptc powerglide, np205 with rockwells. 16" oris front 18" oris rear. 1-1/4 rod ends. Trying to build the lowest rig possible but still have a good ground clearance. Dimensions right now are 24" to the belly and 68" total height and 122" wheelbase. A buddy of mine is fully modeling it in solid works as we go. It is great to check clearances before you do something and we have been able to animate it to check articulation clearance. It's really cool to have this tool to see what something looks like before you waste time and tube to try it. Below is the goal from the model. The model is ever changing just like the build. I will update it as well as pictures of progress.
