Bucking Buggy Attempt #1

[Bart]

Cool. Can't wait to do that on mine.

A little progress today but not much

I did not like my Trans mount so I made a new one
I built one that connects to the doubler and I added one on the side of the 205

Should I also make one where the original Trans mounted or is this strong enough?

Don’t mind that buggered weld. My welding mask (auto darkening) quit working so I was welding with my eyes shut. Tomorrow I get a new mask and I pull out the grinder.

bart you might recognize the seats

and it now starts at the push of a button

 

[Bart]

Cool, the seats look good. Man, you are going to beat me to being finished if I don't get out in my garage. I've been gone so much that my wife is getting priority for the yard work that needs to be finished.

 

[Bucking Bronco]

My lawn is dead. Less mowing = more time for the buggy

 

[Slangy]

After your done with the buggy you can tear the grass out and build you a off road course. Then when you get the itch to go wheeling you can save traveling time and just get right to it in your own front yard. The neighbors would love it.

 

[Bucking Bronco]

Getting the dash together today and hope to have it all plated tomorrow

One day I will have to go back to work and pay for this thing

 

[Bucking Bronco]

What is a good thickness for the floor?
I was thinking 18 Gauge or is that to thin

 

[suisuki]

I would go 16ga or thicker

 

[Bucking Bronco]

well with threats from the new wife that it gets done by winter or it goes out in the snow I am back to work on it.

 

[Chevycrew]

So if its not finished, it goes out in the snow.

Does that mean when it is finished it takes up permanent residency?


(My toyota has a permanent spot in the garage, wife parks outside)

looking good though! Tell her it can either go in the garage or the kitchen, her choice

I told her your comment and she chose kitchen. She said she does not cook and she does not clean off snow.

and the theory is that if it is drivable I can move it in and out to work on but it will either end up in the snow or hopefully it will fit in my shed

 

[Chevycrew]

You didnt inform her first that garages are for hobbies not parking?

She seems to think that since I have both spots she should get one, and my other vehicle cant be left in the cold.

My shed will fit the buggy but there is not any room to work on it in there and it would be a pain in the a$$ to move it in and out unless its running

Looks good. I would probably add some support to that a-pillar, given the angle it's at.

It is now on the to-do list.

Easy solution, just have her drive your work van.... and you can stay home and fab.
