I nominate punkur67 as DOTM for building a buggy for his friend who was injured in Iraq.
That is one of the most selfless acts I have ever heard of mentioned on this board.
he was in last months poll
Travis= is a soldier in the National Guard. He left for Iraq about 7 months ago. While he was away his wife and I decided to suprise him and build a sand car. He knows about the car cause his wife and I couldnt keep a secret and find out exactly what he wanted in his car. Unfortunately his MRAP was hit by a bomb a couple weeks ago. He was hurt but will be ok and should be out of the hospital in about a month. We got a 1992 4 seat sand cars unlimited frame as a roller. It came with 3 x 3s and king coilovers in the rear and a warrior beam with fox shocks in the front. I since have put in a built 091 and a Subaru 2.0. Its much more work than it started out to be but the Subaru made it much more difficult to build. So far I have made a new engine cage, new motor and trans mounts, mounted the cooling system, beefed up the steering and fixed some misc things. Punkur67 is going to work on the front end next with some longer arms, coilovers, and some sort of instrument cluster.
