ugliest car every fo sho. I'm willing to help you out though. Place it in a well padded box and ship it to me ASAP. You can thank me later when you realize all the happiness and dough I would've saved you. But you need to hurry, before wife changes her mind and allows you to keep it. :lol:
In Christ,

Looks good! I've never seen truck shocks and towers on one of the buggies before. What are the advantages to using the truck parts?

with the rear tower you can 'slam' your body down alot lower than a standard buggy rear tower. But it also stands your shocks straight up and down making it a little unforgiving so its a push/pull type thing. Some guys like it and some don't. Personally, I like it for oval but was hard for me to get a handle on the offroad...unless its just my driving ability :lol:

The good thing about Klein arms is they are rigid and you can drill holes inbetween the standard ones. I still have a hole that can move and adjust my shocks.its limited but it can be adjusted. Will post tomorrow after i run it.... :-)

Nice car - did you bend the nose tubes yourself and drill holes in the chassis for them?
