It is still 666 on the home page, which will be updated later.

🤣 👹👹👹

A few more pics of the buggy. I think it's finally in a setup that feels done... until I decide to tinker with it again. There is some temptation to go with a trailing arm setup.

I just want to say that this thing is wicked cool! Would be neat to see a trailing arm version too. Gotten any track time with the current setup?

No track time yet, but been thinking about making plans. There's a really cool track in the area but it looks huge in the photos. I feel like I'll be squinting to see my buggy when it's at the far side. The eyes aren't what they used to be. 🤣🕶️🤓

I know the feeling. I was born with bad eyes and the years haven't made them any better!

That is a world class procrastinator in action! :lol:

Not that I am any better, mind you, just liked the wording.

What I need is my neighbor to let me expand my fence to include his unused back yard. Then I could have a nice track and my spare parts all close by for when I need them.

I agree this is a seriously trick project buggy, very well done Ed. I look forward to seeing what you do next with it, you'll probably think of something :lol:

This is really an awesome build. 3D printers have really been a game changer for builders.

After a trial fit, it looks like I'll need to make a new sway bar to clear the shock mounts. I think the sway bar is important with this setup.
