my new 4 seater build

[gomer pyle]

I thought I would start a build thread. I sold my EOR buggy last year when my son was born and am in the process of building a 4 seater. I am trying to do everything(well almost) myself. Green Bean Fab bent and tacked my chassis and HeMan machine built my axles(both very good friends and been tremendous help). This is going to be a slow build, so bear with me.

List of the goodies
• 427 SBF with MASS FLOW(estimated 650hp)
• Built C6
• Atlas 3.0
• Steering d80s front and rear
• PSC steering
• PRP seats
• FOX emulsion coilovers
• FOX bumps in front
• 24 bolt hummer wheels

Well don't stop now,let's hear something about those axles.

 

[gomer pyle]

d80 with hair cut top and bottom. has the same ground clearance as a d70. rock knuckles with custom HeMan high steer arms and brakes. as the axle sets in the pic it is 300lb. doing a little something different on the front and hope to get it even lighter.

Daniel, glad to see that you are building another buggy. Those Dana 80's look straight beefy! Still remember seeing the low-low wheel a few times at GMP.

is the main advantage of the d80 the ring and pinion or does it have larger shafts also?

Looks good what kind of seats is it set up for? May want to do a similar chassis for mine keep the progress and pics coming

larger ring and pinion plus can run ouverson 2" shafts all the way(i am going to run 1 3/4 for now)

Is that 300 wet ready to run ? Seem really light if it is RTR!

 

[gomer pyle]

no shafts or flanges yet. just saying it is going to be close to a d60

Where's Chad with a pic of the front tube and hood? I think it came out damn good.

 

[fordcontraption01]

Where is the old chassis? Looks badass all my stuff would go right back on it. :****:
