I purchased this buggy in 2011 partially finished. Pete finished out the front end and got it rolling for me and we brought it home to finish it out around November 2011. I got it finished last April and rode it several times. Finally got around to pulling it down for powdercoat and paint. Should have it completely done in the next weekend or two when I get the panels and hood back.

Specs:
Built 5.3
TH 350
Stak 3 speed
60F w/ Yukon's
14B Rear
Fox 14" C/O's front and rear
Fox Airbumps
42" Irok Stickies on 17" Racelines
Driveshafts by Carolina Driveline

Here it is finished but uncoated/unpainted:

I've always wondered what that buggy looked like in chassis form.

I fully plan on copying teh "high sides" and a lot of the looks of it :dblthumb:
