The body is not in that price. The body only cost is $2200.00
We are not selling a roll cage. we are selling a complet chassis which has the inside cage, outer rear cage for the motor, the cage supports that need to welded to the torsion tube and frame horns that will tie the inner cage and the rear cage together and the price includes the front tube chassis that has a 6" wider beam built into it. You will have to cut off the front frame horn and weld in a plate that is supplied with the kit. The 4 sections will all come together to make a tube chassis car. The only reason we used the stock pan is to make it street legal. We also tried to make this chassis kit a 100% bolt-on to your pan but we could not get the strength we wanted, so there are some pieces that you will need to weld on. |

Here's some progress pictures of the rear suspension.
This one is at ride height.
This is at full compression.
and this is at full droop. I'm getting 17" of travel with the 5x5 arms and 14" 2.0 Fox shocks. I should have the front done in the next couple of weeks so I can get the car on the ground as a roller.  |

So, just what exactly would your customers get for the $4900.00?

Thats a really high price for what you are offering. You can buy a cro moly sandrail chassis(more tubing than you are offering), with front a arms and spindles, and rear trailing arms for almost 1000.00 less.

Tubrolark; I'm not building a sandrail chassis. I'm building a dual sport that will be street legal and when I'm done with the chassis it will have more D.O.M. tubing then a sandrail. I sell other chassis that are less money and have less quality then the chassis were building for this Manx. I will have some pic's in the next couple of weeks of the whole chassis put together with the body off and every can see what the chassis is. |

They are very nice looking wheels.
Do they come with the centre caps for that price?
What size wheel & tyre combo are you running on the green buggy and the blue buggy. |

| UK Billy; The rims do not come with center caps. The pic's of the rims on the green manx show the cover of the micro stub axle brakes, so it looks like the rims have center caps. |
