[QUOTE="fl-krawler, post: 477417, member: 884"] Raised the chassis up and started on the side tubes. Out of the 30 or so chassis I have built, this is the first one I have built from the roof down, and it has been a huge pain in the ass. Scott (Addison66 on here) has been helping me with the build and it is such a pain to have to resquare the chassis every time it is raised up to add a new section. The only thing that is good about it is we have been able to keep the entire chassis to within a 1/16th of an inch of being square to the table, with the chassis being fully welded to this point. Anyhow, unlike a lot of people, I prefer to tie my buggy down by the chassis, not by a strap around the axles. One of the things that suck, is when pulling multiple rigs, trying to fish myself in between them to tie them down to the trailer. On this chassis I added D ring clevises to the ends of the floor tubes. This should allow me to cris cross my straps easily on the sides of the buggy, and not have to worry about the front/back [IMG]https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/1969305_1063358660357425_6504093911375072486_n.jpg?oh=2f64963d085978dd00134bdec3fa1f20&oe=5583A244&__gda__=1431546158_d8d481a61dbf3ca70fb3d5f2f1281960[/IMG] [IMG]https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/v/t1.0-9/10361989_1063358700357421_1830660548050866381_n.jpg?oh=25d605dd8c6ad9d1cf703eb2e37f0dc6&oe=5582B832&__gda__=1431520267_71271bc2bfd6db1f7403fe0dacf58c28[/IMG] [IMG]https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/10155065_1063358607024097_5158757620445956624_n.jpg?oh=ea4b220a4b0c31a840dbe87226c36bd0&oe=5595D10B&__gda__=1434745984_b52662d3ab175c4711b44c91d7a2eedb[/IMG] Once those tubes were done, the chassis was raised to its final height so I could start mocking up the rear seat placement [IMG]https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/10696276_1063358820357409_4214324081834009230_n.jpg?oh=be405a28ae2f653cf35e096a8e1cfa47&oe=55888D7F&__gda__=1435588117_55de43c64c5fce32e6ed46a5486a6d15[/IMG] The shallow belly and low ride height is going to force the front portion of the supercharger through the hood.
