what happened to the beach buggy project that i think you cut up a pt cruiser or something then had to cut and widen a fiberglass body??
Cool for sure. I was/am amazed that the nomad is bronze welded chassis. WTH is up with that? I mean for MX bicycles I would be OK with it but on a car??
I gotta agree with you on that. I did do a search for salvage stuff in the UK but ,nope,nothing came up.

They want some flex in the chassis and this is the way to do it with out cracked welds? Counter intuitive as everybody talks "rigidity" but there might be a method to the madness?

I know the theory but IMO,it's not for any use where structural integrity is the most important criteria. Most bikes today are tigged as well. The brazed joint is not a welded joint even though they call it welded. It is a much weaker joining method. Probably up to the task,I mean ,haven't you seen the ads for flex tape?

Well, because I am me, I sent them an email and asked why (always curious - non confrontational in the least) so hope to get a response? We will see if they get back to me?
