Smith buggy parts list?

constant pressure · Nov 7, 2012

Was wondering if anyone has a complete list of parts to have a Jimmy Smith buggy built? Im trying to gather parts and would like to have a list from someone that has already did this. I already got the basic stuff motor,axles,tranny,transfer,coilovers,&44's. Thanks in advance!

The parts are going to depend on your personal preferences and wether you want a roller or turn key

the chassie and big stuff is the easy part.wiring,placement of computer and gauges,fuel syatem.and lines,all the little stuff is what gets you.pedals,steering,orbital,hydraulic lines,mounting ram, throttle,brakes and all the lines.that **** takes for ever and plan on at least a 100 bucks a day runs to the parts store for really nothing.it's all worth it in the end though.
