Man I wish I had welding skills like that.

Medusa · 11-09-04, 10:45 AM

This is what I call hard-core, top-quality design and fabrication. I look forward to watching the progress of this project thru to completion.

Jimbro · 11-16-04, 08:43 PM

Gary,

I don't want to spoil the suspense......it's great that all can share in the buildup.

Tom, Lanze, Austin along with the rest of the great group at Sunray have several suprises for everyone that they will enjoy sharing during the buildup. We are all having a good time with this and hope all like the engineering, craftsmanship and execution of the Buggy Lite project.

Thanks to Woody for keeping a pulse on the project and hope to wheel with him again, soon!!

Well aren't you special.

woody · 11-17-04, 11:10 AM

motor mount and diff bling....

Radd Cruisers · 11-17-04, 02:38 PM

I saw the earlier picture of the motor mount and wondered what it was, looks like it was machine ecentric. Do you think its a bling factory or weight savings?

Is that third a mog?

woody · 11-17-04, 02:43 PM

the 3rd is an alum 9" <bling>

motormount is nuthin more than a Moog K3131...simple, and effective.

edit: a quote from the shop:
"lance : the motor mount machinin that the guy is talking about is ecsentric and its for bling and weight and bling"

denis · 11-19-04, 11:00 AM
