Thats a good question. It depends on where you measure. The customer doesn't like the new style cars being built with the high sides so I designed this car a little different and made it lower on each side in the drivers area. The picture will explain in detail, the sides originally are 18" apart but lower 3" near the seats.

I like the look of the lowered mid rail. Do you have any pics of that car complete or is it still in the shop?
JP DESIGNS
More Pics.

Does it come with the little blue placard to hang from the mirror?

Why did you put those big bends in the B pillars? They have no support now.......

I'm guessing that's the area where the upper shock mount will be, so most likely more tubing and some plating are yet to be added to strengthen the area.

Keep up the pics Jessie, this is going to look sweet.

Yoshi, good eye the bends will have the rear shock mount coming off of that with a support tube connecting to the rear diagonal tube that goes to the mid rail. I would have commented the same as it looks like a missing piece to the puzzle. Will post the finishing pics tonight.

Rolling Pics. With paddles it has a 90" wide track width cycling 19". Not bad for microstub hub rear arms.

I must admit, this buggy looks FUN! peace.gif

How long did it take from start to where it's at now?

Nice job Jessie. Wish I had the coin and storage space, I'd love to have one.
