So progress was going slow on the buggy build. It didn't help that we decided to switch to a 2" chassis and IFS 3/4 of the way through the build of the chassis. By that time Shaffer was busy building other cars and I wanted to get my car done sooner than later so I sat down with Dan at Fishmouth Fabworks and plopped down a pile of cash and asked if he could haul ass. He said yes.
Since Shaffer had already rolled the 2" for the new chassis and frankly I liked the design, we decided to use the pre rolled tubing and stick to some of the El Chupacabra design. Obviously since this car will be IFS, it's going to be a bit different.
So out with the old Currie F9 solid front axle, and in with the Diamond IFS center section, Yukon 9" drop out, ARB with Spidertrax 300m collar, and RCV CVs.
