Well here starts a new build 
I have a Sammi based 2 seater buggy now with a toyota motor and running gear, dual cases and so on. As the Family grows I need too make room for them so they can go with me. A 4 seater is in order I think. So I made the decision too sell the buggy and start a new build.
Here we go... I have a nice set of D60's a SBC motor and a turbo 400 trany. I need to get a 205 or 203 transfer. The motor got pulled apart this last week and I threw some parts at it and a set of 202 heads on top. No intake yet till I know what I want to run for fuel, I might just fuel infect it and keep it simple. The trany is in the shop getting rebuilt and a shift kit. Im not a auto trany guy so I am learning as we go with this thing. Tires will be no smaller than a 40" not sure what brand I want yet I have some more research to do. The chassis will be all custom Im not building off a existing frame I will post some pics once I get something to take pics of, other than a motor and axles. We all know what that stuff looks like.
More to come in a few days when I get the trany back. IDEAS is what I need for a chassis So if you see something cool with 4 seats post it up. Small and light as I can go But loud as I can get. This thing will bark for sure.

I have most of what I need minus tires, i do have some rollers but nothing I want to wheel with for sure. Hydro steer and all that is here I got all that from the Forklift headquarters of Columbia, Drive lines I will make when I get to that point. Now I am saving for a set of coil overs all 4corners, I will have too wait till I set everything up though so I can measure for stretch and stuff. So at this point its all hurry up and wait.... damit! I need a chassis design for a 4seater!!!! This is the hard part so far. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
