Hiya Carl, harness looks good and Candice looks the part sitting in the drivers side....  8)

This is my favourite harness style and in racing we added a stitched in velcro strip over the release lever to avoid accidentals. Rip then pull.... plenty quick enough... actually 'saved' me one time on rollover. Car flipped a couple of times then it went quiet so reached for the release and it all started again... was still in the air and I thought it was over.... licky.

One question, is this car destined fror sand only? If its going to do more, are you concerned aboput the rear sprocket hanging unprotected. Not a criticism, just an observation and curious.  ;)

Yea I like them very much.  Now gotta figure out hoe to mount the one that go over the shoulders.  Might have to run another tube, inside one are gonna be a biotch.  Real close to the "over the motor exhaust".  Got to move the seats again, then I will tackle the belts.  Have the new roof line tacked up and I likey ;D forgot pics.

Closest sand is 500 miles.  Its for woods, trails, gas and power lines.  Gonna build a gaurd outta some 1/4 angle, just on down the list. 

Hey Bug, read something about some "decent" sand area in downtown Albany Ga.

Got the buggy back running.  Only had 7.5 volt to the coils??  Ran some new wire and everything is fine now.  I'm thinking I had a bare spot leaking voltage somehow.  Have some other projects out of way now so I'm back at buggy.

Picked up stole a piece of Al-clad 36"x120" $30. ;D  It's 1/32 al then 1/16 plastic then 1/32 al.  Tough, light, dent resistant.  Gonna use for some body panels.  Alum finish on one side and a protected shinny blue finish on other.

I was in the store getting some beer ;D they were building some crap and that piece was sitting there.  Ask man at counter he said "what you give for it buddy, I said $30." He put $30 in pocket and I drug that thing out to my van, grinning.
