Well here goes. Sent my check to BTF today for a BTF Fusion chassis and all the goodies. Gaither says we should be able to pick up the chassis' around the end of January. I can't wait. My father-in-law and I are both building BTF buggies and hopefully we can have them finished for the Texas Twister event at www.treesranchoffroad.com in May of this year. If worst comes to worst we should have at least one complete by then. I'm hoping to have them both complete but time will tell. Here are the specs of my rig.

BTF Fusion Chassis with all the goodies
96 Impala SS LT1 Engine
Turbo 350 Transmission with Art Carr Shifter
Atlas 4.3 Transfer Case
Full Hydro Steering
Sway Away Racerunner Airshocks
D60 Front (4.56's, ARB, DRW Dodge Axle - completely rebuilt Thanks B.C. 05)
14BFF Rear (4.56's, Detroit, Van Axle, BTF Disk Brake Brackets with Eldo Calipers - completely rebuilt Thanks B.C. 05)
42x15x16.5 Super Swamper TSL's on Stazworks Double Beadlocks

and of course with any build, a lot more stuff I forgot to mention.

I'll update the post as the build progresses.

For now I'll post a pic of the only part I have so far.

Fusion is to big and common. Should have built one of Becca's chassis!!

Why the fourth gear option with only a three speed trans? Sounds Like the makeings of another nice fusion :cool2:

good catch on the shifter. I actually bought it to put in my Jeep that had a 700r4 but I sold the jeep this weekend before I could install it. The staff at Art Carr is going to swap it out for me.

Sweeet. I am looking at having my rig done around May (hopefully), lets do these shakedown runs together!!!

Wanna race?

 

[zx11kllr]

just kidding, from what i have seen dave does great work. good luck with your build.

 

[redranger4.0]

i like how you started your build with the shifter lol

 

[offroadman83]

I hope I can make the Texas Twister myself. Look forward to seein this build and hopefully in person-------------Kyle

You will be happy with the Fusion. My buddy just picked his up last month. Redd does some great work.
P.S. When you talk to Gaither tell him you want a Chassis with Balls. Tell him Cole told you to ask.

People have NO CLUE how kickass Becca's chassis is. :cool2:

The shifter is one of those things I would have done different on my last build. I was gonna make sure I did it right this time.

 

[Bushwhacker]

Are you putting a rev manual valve body in and reversing the shift pattern? I like being able to go from 1st to rev.

 

[zx11kllr]

I've given that some thought but undecided at this point.

 

[lbbest]

The "balls" option is probably one of the best upgrades that Blue Torch has to offer, I highly recommend it.

LOL.... sneaky...... LOL

I do.

Scotty called. he said the shifter should go to the black widow since it was bought for it.

 

[zx11kllr]

too late it was already sent back, but for 257.00 he could have one shipped to his front door. I haven't heard from him, how does he like it so far.
