ok heres the scoop. i cant decide which way i want to go with my project. I had ideas of halfway copying bob roggys jeepster buggy(jeep front, tube back) but i keep thinking i want it to be more like an actual jeep. i havent been able to find a cj7 tub for a doner for the roggy copy so thats making me want to go back to the origional plan. CJ5 with tube front fenders and chop the rear wheel wells out straight to the back and then down at an angle. i got my drivetrain picked out(see sig). regardless of anything im building my own frame( 2x4x3/16 box tube) this is the easy part, the hard part is deciding what direction to go.
so whats your vote? cost is a BIG issue, im trying to get this done before summer(steve :flipoff2: ) and on a limited budget, i have about 800 saved up now but half that is going into rebuilding my engine.time is kinda on my side, i have all the time in the world and once i start something im dedicated on finishing. I have the tools to do most anything at work-welder,tube bender,SAWZALL :D and other stuff and a knowlegable boss( you may know our moderator :D ) this is all pretty confusing rereading it but basically, jeep/buggy or jeep/jeep

ill post pics of a basic idea of each if that will help
