As a few of you know I recently dusted of my buggy project so I thought I would post a few pics. I have the electrical, sheet metal and belly plate to complete and then it can be torn down to finish weld the chassis I am hoping to have it done mid July.
Some things that I have done recently worth noting was install a set of Inner Air Lock internal bead locks, they were very nice and light compared to other double bead lock options. Changed the mini ARB compressor to a larger unit that I got from Pep boys, I think it was called the tsunami :grinpimp: and was around 70 dollars? I took it apart to have a look around and had to clean up some stuff but what would you expect for $70? It moves quite a bit of air but I did not take the time to convert the numbers given to cfm. It will fill up my 1.5lb air tank from 0 to 120 psi fast. You can see it in the thrid pic below the cutting brakes.

She looks nice and low on 42's. NIce rig! :beer:
 
Looking real nice Matt. Can't wait to see it on the trails. Did you use Staun beadlocks? Gary
 
Looks great, tons of work there! You got to change your sig a little

"Tube buggy on 42s collecting dust" = Tube buggy on 42's dusted off a bit :)
 
One of the main goals was to have good viability with a front engined rig, while keeping the radiator in the front so I had room for my daughter's seat made it very hard to package.

I don't plan on competing but maybe at some point.

I didn't use Stauns I used Inner Air Locks they are in the vendor section. The construction seems to be the same, essentially they are a tubed tire with in a tire made out of fancy material, I am simplifying it a little :D when all was said and done they were worth the money to me. I had some pics of them when I was installing the locks but they didn't come out very well.

Bah...... not bad for a hack.......:D












Looks GREAT!!!! I can't wait to come out and see the progress in person:hillbilly:
 
Chris,

I do what I can with a 9volt battery some ductape and a service manual from a 78" Gremlin :flipoff2:


Mark,

I was thinking of leaving the "patina" on the hood along with the prerequisite titty flames:grinpimp:

Quite plainly the filter location sucks :mad: but between the sloped hood, headers and hydro junk I had no more options...
I do plan on making a AL box for it to keep most of the junk off of it.

This weekend Jen and I got the lexan skins cut out along with the templates for the boat sides, belly and axle skid. I am getting the itch to take off some more time to glue this thing together.

Fully sick Buggy MATE! :beer:
