SAND RAIL PROJECT

The project is being dry fitted with all parts before any paint is applied.
It has been a while since my last post on this project. We now have it as a rolling project. Steering shaft and box is all in place. Rear suspension is now complete with fit. Battery box ,storage box and gas tank in place. All tabs and floor panels now in. Next is a few more odds and ends such as new motor mounts, front bumper, rear cage and tabs for buggy whip needs to be added. Then after that we will start on the body work .
Custom light mounts have been fabbed. A few more do dads have to be added for fit and location. Stay tuned for more updates to come.....

As for the A arms. I don't see A arms being all that great on a woods / trail type of buggy anyway. I'd say they're a lot more prone to damage when and if you should hit a tree or something. I'd rather have a beam in that case.

Looking good so far. Judging by the pictures you have access to a flow jet.

...Honest opinion... The cars looking great. Cool details, nice welds.

but your bumper is WAY too big...don't like it.

I vote "do-over".

How's that for honesty.
