Wire brushing and Scotch-brite duties...I got them skillz!
I wouldn't mind logging a few hours helping you this weekend...maybe hook up with you sometime Sunday if you will be around the shop? I'll track you down this weekend to see if I can help out in some way. Great pictures...it's looking great. Kel
I don't think that I got more than 1 or 2 hours of assistance during this whole build, the fabrication portion.
So, that would be awesome!!!!!!!! I'll be here all day and into the night on both days.
OK......Now.......I'm getting back to work on the front third.................

Some updates:
It's together while it did fall a bit behind schedule. I look forward putting the new rig through its paces. If anyone coming the DTS Event May 6-7th at Flat Nasty ORP , http://flatnasty.net/, it will be there, and the remainder of the WE Rock East ..........

How about a spare rig. Just duplicate everything you have done.
Spent a couple day's with Marko testing the rig. Getting familiar with the controls and characteristics. The car performs very well. We found a couple of bugs, all are quick fixes. Climbs, sidehills, and crawls very well. Seems to have enough HP to shoot up the walls or hop onto ledges. I think its is going to be very competitive. Looking forward to the season.
On a side note, the Flat Nasty Offroad Park is a very nice place. I really enjoyed the trails and hospitality of the owners. If you haven't been there I highly suggest you make the trip and wheel the park.

Tolly, glad you made it up. This should be an exciting next couple of months.
So everyone knows Jason Tollison (Tolly) will spot this season. We both moved up from the Mod-Stock class last year. I look forward to the competetion experience that he will bring to the team.

Pics of the car after the WE Rock this past weekend. The skins are a bit rough the were better looking of Friday.
It'll buff out, I'm sure.

It sure did look a lot nicer on Friday.
Overall for what it went through, I would say the buggy held up very well.

Awesome job on this rig Marko. You thrashed it good all weekend, and It held up like a champ. The rig took some hard hits on the rocks and the welds and joints held up tremendously. No cracks, separations, or failures in the craftsmanship.
