Didn't take any pics but all a arms are built and fully welded. Shocks mounts were next on the list but, started looking closely at the shifting system .  Mounting the  the rear shocks is a half a day task, no big deal. The shift system is proving to be challenging. This hv24 trans is so different , to all the other builds that there are simply no off the shelf parts to aid in installing, not in a mid engine configuration anyway. I believe the trans to be superior to the mendi 2d but not sure by how much. If not by much then not worth it, especially now thats its $5k more and that doesn't make any sense either.

Running push pull cables directly to the shift shafts is a no go. It would be the cleanest and simplest way but not possible.. I know Sean at weddle discourages the use of bell crank like systems on the shifters but I have no choice. My frame simply isn't wide enough to accommodate a large enough dia 90* turn on the cable. The forward shift shaft will also need an extension made due to frame dimension constraints. Spent half a day with 3 diff length cable and 2 diff brands, looking for better ways to connect. Going to have to stop at speedway tonight for parts.

So every weekend I plan to spend the whole weekend on the buggy, something decided to change my plans for me. I have been able to spend the last 3 nights on it. I finished the rear a arm fixture and built both uppers plus 1 lower as of last night.  My goal tonight is to build the last lower and begin hanging them. I have technicaly 2 possibilities for shock placement but imho only 1 option due to exh, fuel tank, radiator and intercooler placement.  The curve of the rear of the frame is a hinderence.  Its no issue with air shocks but 2.5 coil overs are a diff story and I need a location that I have to room to step up to 3.0 internal bypass c/o 's in the future.

Really points out how not well built many cars are.  Not a bad way to make a living. Do some quick repairs of questionable quality,customer leaves happy to be able to get back on the sand, car breaks again next time out and get paid to do some more questionable repairs. What more could a guy ask for?
