BTF, chassis looks killer. The plate subframe and is a cut above for sure, can't wait to see more progress pics.

Who all is in contention for that? You, Becca Webster, Carrie Stiener and who else? You should have a pretty good shot at the purse, and if you win it's like an instant rebate on the new buggy.

this pic shows the rear axle at full bump. which is 8 inches of up travel.

BTW... the numbers on the top are not correct. James was just fawking around with a marker.

smewhtguy · 11-21-2008, 04:06 PM

Is this going to be off limits at fabstock or are some of us mear mortals gonna be able to get a peak at this?

BlueTorch · 11-21-2008, 04:06 PM

We are running ProComp wheels. Check out the beadlocks on these babies....

BlueTorch · 11-21-2008, 04:09 PM

Spidertrax.... BLING

BlueTorch · 11-21-2008, 04:11 PM

This is just a mock up seat from PRP Seats, but we will be running a very similar seat in the end.

We will have the car for all to see at FabStock. There are a couple things I want to finish before letting any and all check it out, but I see no reason why we can not get it knocked out before the event.

BlueTorch · 11-21-2008, 04:20 PM

As for the roof of the car.... we have a little rolled tube action going on. I didnt put tons of roll in the tube. Tried to keep it to a min and looking sexy/fast.

here is a idea of what we have going on....

If you want to do roll tube without breaking the bank for an industrial roller you might want to check this one out from Pro-Tools. It is very inexpensive and is VERY simple to use.

You can find the tool on their website at:

BlueTorch · 11-21-2008, 04:24 PM

we are now selling Light Racing dimple dies. On the table here I have up to a 4 inch. If you are in the market for some dimple dies give Jason a call at the shop. We have not had time to get them added to our website yet.

We bought a new set from Light Racing to use on this buggy. They are really nice and work WAY better than the last ones we had.

it is 1/4 inch plate for the towers and 1/8 to box them in. The bolt holes are getting weld washers very soon.

Oh no the buggy belongs to BTF... Nicole is just driving. She would get an extra payday if she takes it down.

isabellaclarke · 11-21-2008, 04:42 PM

Is procomp making thise wheels as beadlocks now? Or is that comp only wheel available to the select few?

Dan

Lubes · 11-21-2008, 05:07 PM

You fuggin ridiculous Dan, that looks intense! Cant wait to see how it all comes together! Not to mention how NJ does with it out in the desert!

powdr7 · 11-21-2008, 05:14 PM

Um...wow. That looks sick so far, but I expect nothing less from the BTF crew.

Bent Fabrications · 11-21-2008, 06:16 PM

Dammit Dan.... your making it hard for the little guys to keep up!!

I'd expect nothing less, It's time for the pro's to show why were pros.
I'll be moving over to this type of subframe setup soon too I hope!!
Just got to find someone with some deep pockets

It's bad ass

I can clearly see two groups coming to Hammers this year.
Those that come to win.... and those that don't have a chance...

Nicole, your one lucky lady!!

Halogrinder · 11-21-2008, 07:47 PM

spidr · 11-21-2008, 08:07 PM

Incredibly time consuming fab job. I think it's badass that you're willing to commit to quality like that rather than letting efficiency win out all the time.
