Almost 2 years later and Im finally posting again.  After several unsuccessful possible trades for Honda vtx's... And sitting for an entire year after a chain break jacked up the clutch rod cover... the buggy is back in business.  Finally gonna finish this damn thing and call it complete.  I have a solid rear end desing that has held up for 3yrs of abuse.  I have a great front end design that has taken many jumps.  Its all GOOD!!  So...time to integrate all the added wiring, round off all the sharp corners and paint the damn thing. 

first 3 pics were after dusting it all off and taking it for the first drive since pulling out of storage.  In the last picture you can see the affects of it getting rained on once!!  everything got surface rust instantly.

Once its painted and complete, im going to attempt to sell it and start a new buggy.

ohh boy..  youd think having 400hp should be able to tow small things.. but everything ive read says DO NOT tow things with this car.  doesnt have the rigidity to handle it.

When is the last time you read/followed instructions?   rofl rofl

Looks like they want you to have a trans cooler for towing.  Stock tow rate 1000lbs, w/cooler 2000lbs.  With just you pulling buggy it be better than the 6 fat chicks I see ridin 'round in the caddy here.   ;D

After scrubbing rust off all the a-arms, and various parts..   I decided I didnt feel like doing the frame.  So I dropped it off at the sand blasters yesterday night, and picked it up this morning.  Looks great.  $150....

I sell sand for blasting here at work, lots of home owners come in want to do it thereself.  I warn them, best $100 spent paying someone else to do it.

Looks good, throw some primer on it fast.  Pack a sack get ur but to LS Ok.  Oct 1-5.  I give you a seat for aslong as u want.  ;D ;D  Bring a tent or crash in ur car or under stars.
