Ever hear the saying "if you have to ask how much you can't afford it"?

 I don't even want to know how much I've spent on racing and buggies over 35 years. I bet I could retire if I had it all back.

First off...Hemi43 gets credit for the spindles, very happy with them,  and the front end geometry lessons so I think I can get the rest of the stuff where it needs to be.

 Tie rod ends are Jeep TJ. But beware there are 2 different versions with the same part number from MRC. Old stock vs new stock maybe. Each design has it benefits, but I ended up going with 4 of the ones on the left. And had to buy an odball 11/16-18 tap to make the socket and jam nuts.
Bit of an experiment, but I think it'll work.


rklausbeasty42.  There is more room around this engine than there was with the 670. This motor is a little taller, but much narrower, and without the clutches, expansion chamber, and 2 giant carbs, overall it takes up much less space.
 And yeah, it's pretty hard to put a "cost for everything" on this. More time than money really. If I had to pay shop rate there would be way more in labor than parts. I will say though that I have less than $5000 total tied up in this buggy, including the purchase of it a year ago. But bang for the buck is off the charts. We had a blast last season, and I'll only get deeper into it from here on.

The cutting and hacking is done and rebuilding the front is underway.
