I've been really busy and this project keeps bumping along and then gets pushed aside. I started this thing months ago and just haven't finsihed it. Figure if I posted some pics it might push me to complete it sometime.

Couple of chassis pics......mostly 3/16" stainless tube with some 1/8" solid rod.

This actually started life as a taller chassis but I cut the belly area off and redid it. Not meant to be a comp worthy rig.....I wanted something low and a two-seater style buggy.

Brandon M · 07-23-2007, 08:49 AM

Cslax06 · 07-23-2007, 09:25 AM

Wow thats one of the cleanest built tubers Ive seen. Cant wait to see more!

H3RESQ · 07-23-2007, 10:14 AM

WOW, very clean!

JohnRobHolmes · 07-23-2007, 10:20 AM

What kind of torch did you use, and how did you clean it up? I normally blue stainless tubing a bit when brazing.

edit: just realized it looks painted.

I usually clamp a piece of scrap aluminum sheet to the chassis and lay the nut on that for brazing. The flanged nut work best against the curved tubing.
