“Leftovers” with the mocked up name. I don’t like the angled bracket I made at the step. I may just got with two bolts and two washer to keep the body in place rather than the bracket.
Yesterday, I attached the remaining netting, roof, and body parts to the race jeep, only to discover I needed to cut a couple small parts from the floor that were too wide for the body (nothing a quick sawz-it-all couldn’t fix).
The hood requires four bolts to attach it, as I need to make sure it stays secure. Five additional bumpers help keep the hood in place.
It’s hard to test the speed on these short jaunts. I really don’t want to tear up the grass too much. In addition, I don’t have it in four wheel drive, again so I don’t tear up the grass too much. The next time I test it, I will wear ear plugs, because when you hit the gas, it gets loud in the cockpit!
Now it’s time for some helmet shopping!
C’mon !! Sneak it out on the street and wake up your neighbors…I’m pretty sure that’s in your DNA…
Craig: It’s hard to be sneaky with it. I’m sure the neighbors a county away can hear it, lol. We have pretty cool neighbors; they’d be fine with me running up the road. lBut, I can’t do that in 4WD either. I need a long dirt road.
Nice job Dave.
Looks and sounds great.
Great work Dave!
Plenty of dirt (and sand) down here in AZ… I’d love to see (and HEAR it) in person ??
Thanks guys .. I’d love to make it down to AZ with it, but probably makes more sense for us to test it up here first! I know, that’s just too practical of thinking
