Randy · 08-06-2008, 08:30 PM

This thread is the build up of my buggy. It will be used for general hammers wheeling as well as racing in the King of the Hammers 2009.

Here is a short list of specs.

LS1
4L60E
Atlas 4spd
Spider 9 with HI 9 in the front
Spider 9 with Strange 35spline rear
42" Irocs on Walkers wheels

The rear suspension will have 20" of vertical travel. 12 1/2" of that is up from ride with 4" of air bump travel.
The front cycles 16 1/2". 8" of up with 4" bump
All that with a 18-19" belly.

Watch out boys.....my money is on this one.

Randy · 08-06-2008, 08:48 PM

Here is a little header tech. I make the collector die from four chunks of 1 3/4 solid bar. I welded them together and turned them down to a cone in my lathe. Then I used my press to form 3" tubing over the die.

Randy · 08-06-2008, 08:54 PM

Here is the first header mocked up on the motor, and a pic of how I seal the four tubes inside the collector.

Myanarchy · 08-06-2008, 08:56 PM

Randy · 08-06-2008, 08:57 PM

cicero · 08-06-2008, 09:01 PM

Randy · 08-06-2008, 09:03 PM

Here are some pics of the boxed cromo plate high steer arms I made.

Nice work Randy, you make it look easy.

more please

Randy · 08-06-2008, 09:21 PM

heres a shot with both headers on. then we go to the steering. With such a bling steering ram you know the mounts have to be bad

this is the best tech piece i think ive ever seen on this bourd

the glassman · 08-06-2008, 09:26 PM

my only question is how durable do you think the fabed arms will be

i know this style of arms and such are popular in desert racing

looks rediculously awsome

Randy · 08-06-2008, 09:27 PM

here is a shot of the front upper shock mount, more steering pics and front lower link mount at the axle.

I think they will be fine. They are double sheer. I think the main reason we only see 1" thick arms is because they are single sheer and they cost less to make.

BCzuk · 08-06-2008, 09:41 PM

One day I want to be able to weld like you

Looking forward to your progress

BamaSahara · 08-06-2008, 09:44 PM

Damn you have skills man, look fwd to seeing this one finished up

I think they will be fine as well, the only thing I would have done differently is to taper the tube sleeves through them and use tapered nuts. I don't know how accurate the cost less to make comment is though. They cost less based on what?

You should clearcoat all these parts.
