Looneybins southern buggy "BuckWild"
 

Ok after hours on youtube and watching a few builds on here i have to build one. My own design inspired by the crazy sobs in tennessee. Naming it "BuckWild". I have pics to load and post and i lot to mention so stay tuned. At this time the chassis is near complete but i have a lot of cleanup to do and then paint.

Stats on the buggy:
Wraith axles
Bent strc links
Strs diff covers
Alu chubs and knuckles
VXL system geared way down

Will be 4ws and hope to pick up some better shocks and wheels and drivetrain. Will be detailing this one out. Hope its a good start. Really ready to drive it.

Re: Looneybins southern buggy "BuckWild"
 

Thanks guys i have about 4-6 small tubes left, seat mounts, and the shock mounts to braze and then i can do final brazing and clean joints. This was a real endeavor. I saw all these awsome buggies and at first thought they were odd looking but after a while i realized how much work is envolved in each one. They really are a work of art. I had to try to build one. I have about 16ft of 1/4in and 3ft of 3/16in tube bent up in this thing. It was fun just wingin it on the design. Hope i can do it justice in the end.

Any thoughts on color choice?

Re: Looneybins southern buggy "BuckWild"
 

Get metal gray! I saw some stainless steel colored paint at the parts store the other day that looks tempting, nice job and welcome to the club!!
