Liberty buggy build

[jswainthug]

A little update. I got my motor mounts welded in, I also picked up my radiator with fan, and all rear links as well as all my rear heims. Things are coming along slowly but I am pleased with the progress! P.S. I also picked up a JD2 bender but I am in need of some dies so if there is any out there for sale let me know. I also have about 15 greenlee dies that don't fit my new bender if any one is interested in a trade or sale let me know! Pics coming soon!!!:greg:

Cool build. Like it low and long!
so how wide is your chassis?

My frame rails are 32 inches but the total chassis width is 52 inches. Here is some pics.

I finally got the chassis painted as well as the suspension figured out after about a month of measuring and checking for clearance. The front is a 3 link and the rear is a classic 4 link it looks like things should flex well? We also finally got the drive train in to its permanent spot with no clearance issues yet. Next step is to get the motor running (help me) I am a little nervous about the wiring. I have heard it is really easy though? I also decide to beef up the motor mounts a little.

Selling my fuel cell in these pics if anyone is interested, a little to big for the small back of my chassis.

how wide are you, i am front- 94, rear- 89 out side of tire to out side of tire. you look about the same. i am about as far along as you in my build. i think the width will work well.

My axles are full width so I would assume I am close to that measurement. What axles/tires are you running? What kind of build you doing?

Yeah I know how you feel about the slow going, I have a 1984 CJ7 that I'm restoring and I'm about 5 years into it!!! HAHA

 

[jswainthug]
