So, using this chassis as a blueprint for the LGK3 body and center steer, it will be different than how Lloyd had it visually, but will still be mid engine. This was a quick 'paint' photoshop to see how it would look as a center steer...

After finding out that the chassis I was going to use was an 1980s record holding sand dragster, I had to change plans.
Fast forward to today and I found a shorty wb buggy frame to use.

Buggy wheels are too wide, but the wheelbase will work.

All my wheels are 4 lug, so adaptors are ordered, and then I can drop the body over the rear end and determine body height.

Now that the body sits better, I can sort out moving bars.

The steering mount bar needs to move forward to also support the body. I believe I can use the old roll cage mount to creat the new driver rollbars.
