Well I started this build with the intent to just SAS and chevy 63's 37's weld the axles and call in good so i could have something to wheel while i built my buggy on the side. WELL.... that didn't last too long. A whole lot of "might as well" turned into a full blown buggy build. so here are some pics of what I have done so far.

Keep an eye on those rear axle link mounts. With so little triangulation, you'll be putting them under a lot more stress than they were ever designed for.

I was thinking about running a panhard, or just doing a whole new upper link mount on the axle side if these give me much trouble.

Man that looks like alot of work! Are you planning on adding a brace to the rear link mounts or you just going to run them in single shear?

looks like youve got a great start! nice job!
I think that your alot better off building yourself a truss & new upper mnts, (If they give you probs) Theres no reason to throw a pan hard on there, when you can easily get some more triagulation. (a pan hard would just fight the triagulation that you have on there now, as they both locate the axle differently) jst my op
It looks like it will be a cool rig when your done!!

As another option, the lowers could be triangulated too--that'd add to the total amount of triangulation, which would reduce the load on the mounts, and also reduce the rear-steer he'll get.

Unless it's already done in steel instead of cardboard, which it very well may be considering how fast he's done stuff up until now. :)
