This is looking to be a very stout buggy. Smike is doing a great job with it. He can fabricate about 10x better than I can. I am excited for next season.

Looking good. Boy I wish I had the time you do....
Is it the camera angle or is the engine sitting at a good angle in the last picture.

the case is mounted a little farther back than mine, but mine was set crammed for a single piece front, we are planning on a 2 piece front from the start.

Thanks to everyone that came out to lend a hand on Friday. We had everything moved out of Mikes \"shop\" in a very short time.
Mike did an excellent job on the chassis, I am 100% happy with the results. Now I just have to finish it up.

I put the other side tin on last night, then watched a pre-release of an upcoming video from HMC. Will did a great job as usual. Check out his videos. http://heavymetalconcepts.com/
Tonight my plan is to do the trans cooler and lines.

It runs.
Well it starts anyway, I dont have the coolant lines hooked up yet or the O2 sensors, so I only let it run a few seconds.
