D-S, Add an injector at the base of your trumpet and hire out for mosquito control. Looks great...

Shark.. given that Zika is in PR and the VIs, you have a 4-cyl. mosquito fogging machine. I am sure they would allow a little noise in exchange for this public service.

Update: I have a little situation. Battery!! Red top, Yellow Top, Odyssey PC625 and XS Power battery.. Wiring has started but I need a battery. What you guys have in mind to use? I like the slim batteries. But will they last?
P.S. No stereo will be used. _________________ AH TIYAD AH DAT DEH BAI!!!

Awesome build, really like the chassis you chose. Do you have any pics of how you mounted the side pods in the wheel well and on the bottom. |

Hey Ray. I have some pics of it but not really detailed. When I get home tonight, I will post it. All I did was mounted the side pods on properly to ensure both side are identical. Then I bolt it on, then trim the bottom of the side pods so the body can come off the car with good clearance. Then a fiberglass body man glass it in for me. _________________ AH TIYAD AH DAT DEH BAI!!!

Well folks.... The time has come. I drove this dune buggy for the first time this past weekend. I was stoked!! The motor is strong & responsive. Just need to bleed the brakes some more! _________________ AH TIYAD AH DAT DEH BAI!!!
