Project: Pretty Hate Machine (4 seater buggy build)

[Herzog]

Flex testing the front before welding in the shock mounts to support the chassis. I have to get it back to roller so we can move it soon. (Selling the current home!)

Cleaned up the front outers... I love fresh paint on these components

Cleaned up wheel hubs, ready for new bearings

Lowered the brake pedal 1.5". Previously set it up to my big feet in boots, now it's better suited for normal feet

Shifters clearance and overview. Still need to add a cutting brake

Burned in the shock mounts:

And since we finally got all the parts to gear and setup the axles, I started on 14povertyBolt.

Chonky arb and thick gear needed more room

First run matching original .020 pinion housing shims and ~0.06 backlash. Good enough for us poor people.

Make truss great again

Looks like the throttle is right where mine is, she will let you know when your getting it to warm

Oh yea, I told him he's gonna want a heat shield in there and to wrap the headers. That's gonna be a warm foot.

Last updates for at least a few months until I get settled at a new place. Kinda bums me out seeing her head home incomplete for now but the owner is going to pull the motor and transmission to have them rebuilt and prepped, and probably finish weld the entire chassis if he has time. Excited to see how far he gets on it!


Rebuilt the front wheel hubs:

Fresh rotors

and rolling, ready for pickup.
