SUBSCRIBED! This is my kind of rig! I dig it. How do you like the glue on wheels?

Thanks!
I've always like the CI 6 bolt wheels, really wish they were offered in a 1.9

wicked cool pd. Curious to know why you are bothering with brazed joints, why not tig weld the entire thing?

Thank you

I cut the section of frame rails out of the rear to convert to truggy rear. I currently do not have a Tig welder, on the hunt for another. So brazing is sufficient for now

Front inner fenders and Limit straps on front only

Had to drill and tap a hole to match the other side of the VP Capra axle for the limit strap
