Tuner: game changer
 

I started this build a few days ago. It's a replica of Tim Cameron's southern buggy game changer. Still need a little more work.

looks pretty good tim

Re: Tuner: game changer
 

That looks sick man!! Great job!

Re: Tuner: game changer
 

I built one of these chassis...very challenging for sure. You've got it pretty spot on, nice job.

Re: Tuner: game changer
 

Got bends? Holy. Nice work tim, can't wait to see this one done up. It looks a bit larger than your previous chassis?

Re: Tuner: game changer
 

It is defiantly larger than hell raiser but hell raiser was built to be a 1.9.

Tube work is finished. Time to clean it all up :shock:

Re: Tuner: game changer
 

What do you use to clean it up?

Sometimes that flux can be a bitch to get off when in a tight area.

Re: Tuner: game changer
 

Sand blast, flap wheels, bench grinder with a wire brush, small files, sand paper, every dremel bit you have, elbow grease, luck, patience and a lot of beer or Mormon beer (pop!):lmao:

These southern buggies are tricky in more ways than one. Great job Tuner...very ambitious. It should look great after paint!"thumbsup" Following.

Re: Tuner: game changer
 

isn't that the truth! I've done everything but a bench grinder with a wire wheel and all of them are painstakingly tedious.

it seems like media blasting would be the most effective way of cleaning up something of this level?

I like!!

Re: Tuner: game changer
 

A dremel and some sand paper is all I use. It is tedious but so was building it. Thanks guys.

Re: Tuner: game changer
 

wow that's a lot of cutting and fish mouthing props to you.

as to cleaning all my builds I wash the brazed joint under water just after its cooled a little removes the flux
had good results this way

Re: Tuner: game changer
 

Got the shock mounts finished and grinded and sanded it a little.

Re: Tuner: game changer
 

This is amazing work. I am trying to plan my first chassis and this is almost discouraging! That is a lot of work that I don't think I could ever do. Good thing I'm going a much simpler route.

Re: Tuner: game changer
 

Thanks. This chassis was even discouraging for me at first but if you keep plugging at it and get in a grove you can even surprise yourself sometimes. Thanks for appreciating. "thumbsup"

Any updates?
