Rear suspension DONE!

Made a huge break through getting this baby to stand up on it's own.  Now it's a matter of mounting things the engine needs for it to run.  Stay tune, things are going to get interesting fast.  Also, I must thank Mr. Craig Baker for all his help and letting me use his shop!

So I made a Fuel Cell.

Engine mounted

Engine mounted and there is tons of room for a fuel cell.  Well i guess I have to build one.  

3D Scanning trial

I am currently using horizontal laser to scan parts in to David Laser program.  Just testing it out before i build the booth to scan the parts in.  

Rear coil-overs Set

I'm sorry about the picture quality of this post, but I just got a new phone and I forgot to switch the camera setting into a higher resolution.  I realized this later so try and guess which ones I turned up the resolution on.

The rear coil-over is finally complete.  Making your own coil-over is a great way to save money and get the exact springs you need for the weight of the dune buggy.  The weight of the dune buggy is 600 lbs and with me in it that's 735 lbs.  My springs total up to 800 lb/in with most of the weight in the back.

Front suspension done!

Thanks to my friend Craig my front suspension is complete.  He does great work and he manually program a laser to cut out all his parts.  No CAD needed for him, he's old school.
