[QUOTE="jdsharp81, post: 630161, member: 8276"] well after several outings in my first buggy I built, I had it in my garage with a broke transmission and while it was down for repair I started thinking about how I didn't really build the buggy to my driving style. I had a "Family" crawler in mind and went the 4 seater route with the first one I built. Although it took me a couple years working on it off and on, I was pretty happy with the way it turned out, but after a couple of rides I could tell that it just wasn't what I really wanted. I never even put the rear seat in the thing. I really wanted a purpose built 2 seater bouncer, not a family crawler. I put an add out on here and it wasn't long that I had a buyer. and with that the chassis was sold and I was left with a pile of parts and some cash for tube and a few other goodies. So that brings me to the present. I have been working on buggy #2 for a couple weeks. I have a lot done already and if all goes well, I hope to be getting ready for final weld around the new year. I have to give a huge thanks to bendtech. that program is awesome for design and total build of a buggy! Here is a few pics of what I had and the progress I've made thus far. I will apologize before hand, but there is a lot going on in the pics I will post. my garage is packed! hopefully I can get some pics posted that doesn't look like a bomb went off as I progress and get some of the clutter cleaned up. The new buggy will be using the old drivetrain. 6.0 with cam, springs, and pushrods ( ultimate LS induction from FI tech coming) // 350 turbo with full reverse manual valve body and ptc torque converter // 203/205 doubler // 60 and 14. shooting for 120 wb and 20" belly. 43" sx on trailworthy locks.
