myself and my soninlaw(Dan) built the frame and desighned it.
Guising the weight is about 325 to 350 complete without the ram and glass.
I used to have my own shop and built rolegages for extra play money I used my exhaust pipe bender.

Roll it outside and get a few shots with the body up and down. lol. I wanna see how big it looks and how everything is proportioned lol.
 
I want to see it out side to have to put a tube in one of the back tires first hard to get good pictures in sutch a small garage.trying to find some good pricing on a seet and stearing shafts and wheel and swivels so we can mount the seat and wheel.Sofore I haven't had to spend much at all we had almost every thing laying around I'm a big pack rat have to go and get our spair motor to use for the mock up I'm starting to get a little excited we are making decent proggress 'don't you think' for being in the garage 2weeks yesterday.I have to go pick up the door latch from a wrecked truck tonight.

Dale
 
Dale. let me know if you need any parts like that latch and everything, my cousin has a wrecked 2000 we can cannibalize for cheap :D
 
It is a shame that the windsheild don't fit,Jeff Strothkamp has a latch and a striker.Thanks
 
not trying to critique but am curious why there aren't any diagonal supports in all the "squares" of the truss??? I was always taught the triangles are stronger. Maybe that much strength isn't need and what you have put together is sufficient for the load it's gonna see???

Just wondering. that's all.


the quality looks real nice and yes, I'd say you're coming along at a real nice clip with your progress!! I wouldn't know where to begin. HA :D
