|  Southern fried with westcoast flavor.
Here we go again  I started on this styrene mess to house the widened sumo axles that ended up under a chevy...I got side tracked & the buggy was left for dead on a shelf....madjones was over a few days ago & we got to talking about southern style buggies....So thanks to Mike I started back to work on the left for dead chassis....Here is the mock up:    |

Damn dude, there are enough tubes on there to make a sky scraper! It looks good though, definitely looking forward to the progress.

Long wheelbase southern buggies are called rock bouncers I think.

What do YOU use to solder with? Which flux and which solder? I don't want to ask anyone else because they're aren't even close to what you're creating! I wanna learn from the best |

 Im not the best though just lots of practice...For heat I use a Weller 140 to 100 watt gun, flux is water based & solder is 60/40 rosin core .032 dia. Quote:
I got a few more tubes done, its starting to take shape.    | |||||

| Re: Southern fried with westcoast flavor.
Got a little more work done & ordered up some stuff I will run this can its the same size as a 180 stroker BB  With this gearhead to the sumo t-case: Pololu - 9.7:1 Metal Gearmotor 25Dx48L mm So here is another mock up, still have more tube to add just checking how the 4ws will work out & 3s placement ..  I think the 2 fellas in the jeep will fit nice in the buggy! Last edited by chevy55; 12-14-2012 at 02:31 AM. |
