th350 rebuilt by WOD (from yota)
dana 300 with jb conversions 32 spline outputs and 1350 yokes

14 bolt rear w/ 5.13 gears, welded, artec truss and bridge, gubni disc brake conversion, 1350 yoke
PSC full hydro sytem w/ double ended ram (from yota)
2" 7075 lowers w/ 1.25 QA1 heims from WOD

still got a ways, need to wire, plumb, make aluminum floors, panals and skins and i'm sure few other things but hope to be finishing this up in the next lil bit :driving:
 
engine firewall is done, part of the floors are in. working on plumbing when i have time this week. so not a whole lot to see right now but making progress. going to summertown and wooly's this weekend so nothing major will get done until the following weekend.

oneton - you started on that chassis you picked up?
 
fuel system is plumbed, radiator lines are run, coils are on. took it up to my buddy josh's shop on sunday and he wired the engine and helped joe and i work on the floor. got the buggy over at my work and i'll be coming in and knock'n out about 3 hrs before work starts until this is done.

thanks! got the hose from a local rubber and gasket company. they said it would hold up to the water temps and pressure, it's pretty thick. not sure what it's called or the brand. i can get more info if you like, just let me know.

great looking buggy dude!

what kind of hose are u running for the radiator?

Thanks!
 
if you don't care id like to know more..

I'm running hydraulic return line for mine and it needs to be replaced because i've had to couple it too many times- hopefully i can find something a little cheaper to replace it

While not very cheap this is what i am running on my buggy.

Or if you want something that can handle a little higher temp they have this but its a good bit more and has a smaller ID.
