Looks great Rue, what wheel base? I see you are sticking with the V6, EFI this time? Is the 37's the final tire size? Seems kinda small for 60's

Seems kinda small for 60's The wheel base is 105".Going to be going with efi this time.I had a cpi 4.3 that I'm going to try.37's aren't the final tire size,working out a deal on some 39.5s.

It's almost too compact,set the motor in the chassis that I'm going to be running ,and had to take the water pump off to get it in ;D. Rad going to be in the back,i find it's not as hot in the buggies that have the rad in the rear.

Well things have slowed down now.Getting into the time consuming stuff.Got the headers tacked together and the rest of the exhaust mocked up,just need to gear up some hangers. Had to weld a bunch of little bends together to get around the transfer case. Picked up a pair of the Rugged Ridge suspension seats from CVO.Not that bad of a seat,I think that they are built better than the corbeaus.They are alot heaver though. The down side of these seats ,is that you sit a bit higher.So I had to change a few bars around to get a little more head room. Picked up another Battery Box from TMR. Just not sure where to mount it,I'm running out of room fast. Did some dealin with mudmagent and got my 39.5 Irocks back.Then I had to recenter the wheels for the 8 bolt pattern. I got the tube work almost done on the sides.Going to try and get the firewall and the floor in it this week. Rue

Rims are Mike's old rims that the irocks were on.Mike cut the 6 bolt centers out with the grinder.It didn't take him very long to cut them out.The centers that I put in them came out of my 17"s that the krawlers were on.Cut them out with the torch and then trued them up in the lathe.I still have to put the outter beadlock ring on,just wanted to make a anti-coning rings first.
