[QUOTE="Eddyj, post: 342057, member: 3779"] So I spent my second night setting up my chassis and I've learned a lot being this is my first build. 1. Rockwells are heavy 2. All of your "plans" go to hell real quick 3. Don't buy other people's junk and try to make it work for you. They get rid of it for a reason. 4. When building a "low" rockwell buggies you can either have seats and a motor or driveshafts, but not both. No room 5. Rockwells are heavy. Actually I had a great time worked until 5am ( yawwwwn). I've become a Jedi master at moving my motor foward and up 2 inches at a time. It's going to be a little high just because of drive shafts. Ill lower later and do two piece shafts. Keith bailey at offroad connection in fultondale is awesome to deal with. Think I might start a bud thread. I know I'm half assing it and really do t won't to hear everyone telling me do it right the first time. The problem is I am only home 3 month and want to drive it. Not build it for 3years. That and I'm poor. Maybe I will if anyone is interested in a dirt cheap rockwell build. [/QUOTE]
