| Project: Moon buggy
Well, all the links in my other TXT post are dead, so I figured I would start one here to get more opinions. Here is my moon buggy project. It has been a long time coming, since I have been working on figuring out life with a kid. Its very, very different. So, here are a few pics, one after fab and clean up were complete, and one with fresh paint on it. I should hopefully be able to wrap it up this weekend. Body panels are about all that is left. More pictures soon.... Here is a link to the buildup so far, I havent been very diligent about takin pictures. I will take a lot once its done.... http://photobucket.com/albums/0603/HULK64/Moon%20buggy/ Last edited by HULK; 04-06-2005 at 01:32 PM. |

I totally see it. The overall shape, front shock towers, gussets on the tubing, that little cross bar on the back side, and some other features.

How are you welding that up? Mig or something? They look like some big welds. Looks sick though; lets get some more angles |

I got to see this truck of his yesterday in person. It is very impressive looking, completly detailed out with decals, racing seat, and a motor in the back.
