No, There will be an opening on the back wall that will house it. When I crank it up the ball will come out.
BTW I went with the 22" rims and have decided to go with the Louis Vuitton knock off cloth for the interior. Oh, I am going with neon as well.

I did a lot of home work on it. There is nothing better. I think it has auto pilot as well. I hope its worth the cost.

Stole is harsh, but we know how you feel about having your ideas "copied" by others.


Really?? You actually call him to confirm that tom had permission to put 2 rubber bands in a package ... And gives them away??? Even if he didn't have permission, it is not like he took a tomahawk missile and repackaged it as a hatchet missile. ... Wow. Awesome.

can we get back to this killer build now?

Sorry, i've know Tom for too many years and it's an inside joke.

And it's not the rubber bands... it's the idea. It's called "IP" Intellectual Property.


ah I understand now. Usually I catch sarcastic stuff, but I missed it. My bad.

Actually it was good, since I haven't spoken to John L. for some time. He's passing my name on to people in his Porsche and BMW club that need distributors rebuilt.

So it's a win/win, I bust Tom's balls and get some business out of it Wink

I have been busy the past two weeks. I finally got the chassis on the rotisserie. I replaced the fuel line using one of our kits. Then cut the shifter location and prepped the parts like replacing the shift rod bracket then welded everything back in. I used butt welding clamps to hold everything together. Next I shifted the e-brake location back and made filler for the front of it. Then the dash replacement followed by a layer of glass over the complete hood. I then drilled for the column. After that I took an old Manx dash bracket I had and highly modified it to work on this buggy. I used the windshield brackets to hold it in place. Then popped the tank on the body and installed the hood, bolting it down at the brackets. I then drilled for the fuel fill. Next I started on the console. The console will be finished off with closed cell foam and wrapped with leather. I then started making the caps for the dash and tonneau cover. Both will be padded and wrapped in leather. I also started on the seats. I broke one down to make a pattern with it. I only need to use one cover for both. Next I ironed it out for final prep. I will go over this project later.
At the beginning of the build I put a call out for control arms and trailing arms, Tom I. came threw for me. He had everything I needed. He even had a lowering beam I was going to buy anyway so I grabbed everything. I broke them down and checked the parts. They were fine. I know this is a brief description; I just wanted to get some photos up. Feel free to ask “How I did it” and why. So with out further ado, here are some photos.

Great job Tom, keep it up. Here's an idea to document the work: Set the GoPro on a tripod and have it take interval pictures.

Can't wait to meet again in Carlisle.

I was going to do just that but I just never had the time. BTW, I have two now. The new one is the new "Hero 2".
