who makes it any info will help

OOOH boy....atlas is on the move!!!! I knew he couldn't stay railess!!!

well by the pictures it looks like its red with flames

Looks like a buggyworks. not sure though. Be careful there is no bar in the middle between the seats. Looks a little like a budget build.

The guy is out of Yuma. The group I used to dune with had one of his cars not set up very well. The front end is a pogo stick.

the car is out of wyoming do you know the name of the builder out of yuma

Ya you know how i am andy always something new

what he said, not a buggy works, I'd say keep llooking you still have plenty of time, just a .01 cent.............

Let me find out and I'll let you know.

Just buy a new pair of shoes, take your time, in this market , the ball is in your court......taaaaaaake your timmmmmme

The rear shocks being straight up and down are not a good sign either. They don't tend to work well when mounted like that IMO

Im taking my time it was a trade off for something i had for sale and was thinking it might be a good trade just have to know more about the car

TC customs they were in AZ . I talked to the guy

yeah no "b" pillar..dose not look safe.... that rear shock would not handle good!!!

i love how no one here has ever even rode in one and the first thing you guys do is tear it apart it dont take much to ad a b pillar not trying to
be negitive i have just noticed that is a big trend just to tear other things apart

i dont mind i would just like to know but has anyone ever been in one or know some one who has one

Alot of older cars didnt come with B pillars, I can think of a few big name builders that there 1st gen cars didnt have them. The rear suspension does look like it would be wrong at full bump though.

A friend of mine in Ramona has one...seems ok...has 5.3 engine...cast block aluminum heads....looks just like that...it was a good price on a turn key...front end definately comes off the ground...

Is it the Snoopy Car??????

I understand, at least partially, the science here. But does this Racer have much more rake in the rear shocks than this car?

No one is trying to attack anyone. there are TONS of combined years of knowledge and been there done that on here. Hey I am no expert but I can look beyond the nice paint job and see the B pillar is a HUGE safety issue that would have to be added before I or anyone of my family members rode in there. The rear shock set up is not great and I am sure that there can be some cutting, welding, bracing added and re-power coated would be a better car. So just be aware that this car is not getting attacked, but atlas ask for opinions and he is getting them.

Yes it is the snoopy car...kirk.....its a nice ride.

tony chavira TC fab out of somerton,az . nice car for the price theres alot of them around yuma. this one looks like one of his first cars. the newer ones are alot better. great guy takes his buyers out to the dunes and shows them how to use there new toys.

Yes! You would be surprised how a couple of deg's will change the characteristics of the suspension.

He lived right down the street from me; a bit arrogant. Only one I'd seen run was his personal car (I'm sure he's had a few) down in El Gulfo; they liked to do wheelies all over the place. Saw him shoot the hill a few times, didnt get through the bumps real well.

If the trade is an expendable item I guess it doesnt really matter. Be fun no matter what.

Typically if a shock is mounted strait up and down the shock body will change directions (front to rear) during the stroke. That is a VERY big no-no when setting up suspension components.

Another thing to look at is to get a 90 degree angle at full compression (shock body; to the lower heim on shock, to the front of the trailing arm pivot. You can easily get this in a two seater as the upper shock mounts can be moved forward; not so simple in a 4 seat car but try to get as close as you can. This sounds easy but when you are trying to get ground clearance and all the other dynamics (90 degrees, CV angles, no shock body change in direction, ground clearance), it is extremely hard to do. But of course it can be done

They're not mounted straight up and down, it looks like they will prob. be at the desired 90 degree angle at full compression.....
