chassis redo

[bone]

starting on the new chassis for the bc bee today, did all the body work last winter and started driving it.the chassis had been painted with undercoating. unfortunatly that hid the rust. the napolean hat is junk and the front end is twisting 6 inches or so from the rest of the car in the trails

good thing i snagged a chassis off c list a few months ago. pics to follow

[bone]

this is my donor chassis that im redoing and going to set the body on. now floors and a perimeter sqrare tube frame are in the works

Are you going to cut and make the pan shorter? How solid is the pan in the pic? Post some pics of the progression.

this one is already a shortend pan for a buggy. lotsa grinding used up a wire brush on a drill today, gotta get another tomorow, i should probly pick up a couple

[bone]

started on the 1x1 frame on the left side, till i ran out, gotta go get more. built my front napolean hat bridge for my 1x2 body lift that is gonna be the top layer to my sandwich holding the diamond plate floor in.

Nice work, Now I would like to make 1 out of 2 X 3 to give the body a lift. Thanks Dave T

trying to add stiffness to the pan with as littl lift as possible on this one. the bc bee body is a little tall compared to most and in the seat area. your arm rests perfectly on the side of the car now. any higher and youlle have to tuck your elbow against your side LOL

this should also give me a solid attachement point for my nerf bars which are going to run almost all the way to the front beam to try to triangulate the chassis and keep more of the flex out of it

these are for a 108 wheelbase imca mod but were going to modigy them to fit the buggy chassis
