Spy Pics of Vonski's 4 seater buggy

[RockMonkey]

It's great to see you finally getting your buggy, Von.

looks good, nice fab work

 

[Greg]

I believe the motor is a 5.3

the front tube work looks cool.

Ahhh, cool! You know, that would make an excellent buggy motor. V8 torque, but they still like to spin high RPM's. It will be neat to see this rig come together & work on the trail. I like it so far!

 

[Brett]

Von's gonna kill you

 

[Tacoma]

he hasn't seen this thread yet. LOL


I'll have to muscle my way into the shop tomorrow and take a look-see. Looks pretty cool so far, I especially dig the slope of the roof.

Needs more triangulation though.

I just got back from Rocklogic. The thing is SWEET.

 

[Herzog]

Wow! Stand up work guys!

 

[Tacoma]

Well, I didn't get to go in today. So there's one more day to look forward to it LOL

Looks really sweet, took a harder look at the pics today.

I hate to be the one to point it out, but that panhard bar is awfully short compared to the drag link, and not even close to the same angle. There's plenty of room to make it longer and more parallel to the steering.....

Maybe that's already been taken care of, I dunno.

Good eye man...

Upon original mock-up in that pic, you're exactly right. After some re-adjusting, we were back on track with good angles again.

The rig looks fantastic. Nice work for sure. No one deserves a killer buggy more than Von. It's about time.

BTW, I do hope you're going to secure that fuel cell with more than those mounts on the bottom. I saw one mounted like that and it ripped out the first time out wheeling.

Good luck.

Hey Von, nice buggy! How is that time table looking so far, will it be done by EJS?

That's the hundred thousand dollar question right there...

It's the little things that add up and take the longest

Thanks man...

BTW, the fuel cell is an aluminum RCI type, but we removed the mounting tabs and added thicker angle material the whole length of both sides. Yeah, nothing sucks more than a split fuel cell.

Yup, it happens every year it seems. One way or another, we find a way to get 'em done.

Definitely, and luckily we've got the most "time consuming" things already done.

 

[chadschoon]

stupid question but what is the advantage of a square frame rather then tubular? I imagine strength
