Why nobody talking about JHF/Goatbuilt buggy?

Why is pirate lagging behind Facebook? A big old fail for pirate!

Jesse Haines and Goatbuilt got together and are going to build a weld it yourself chassis (or Jesse or Goatbuilt can weld). 54" wide, $3500 for weld it yourself. Goatbuilt will be making link mounts and interior sheet metal.

Looks Awesome!

What shop does the mandrel bending? Not many places do 2x3 box.
Because Pirate is no longer an off-road site.

This kit should be a solid seller. Would've saved me some time on my chassis.

Ask Goatbuilt.
I always liked the goat built idea. For guys like myself that would like to eventually have a buggy but no idea or time and what would work. My only problem is I don't like the lines of the goat built chassis. But this looks good I'd like to see a 3 or 4 seater along these lines. Although it may not be possible.
i like the ibex more then this
It's still available.
Doesn't look like a very good value to me

That depends on how much you value good design and your time.

I guess it would save a bunch of time notching tubing. (Assuming the Kit comes with all the white bracing tubes, and not just the orange tubes...)

And the ability to ship it flat on a pallet is a plus (cheaper freight and less hassle than shipping a complete chassis).

If it included a link tab kit, or link mounts at all, it would be a lot more appealing.

It's just an opinion though.

This is the same chassis. I bought the plans from Jesse before this deal came about. I just changed up the rear section to fit a 36" bench seat.

It comes with all the tubes in the pictures, pre-notched. I imagine it's all DOM, because goat built doesn't deal with HREW.

wow. might be the best looking 4 seater I've ever seen
You can buy Millers new chassis the same way now with as many or as few extras to complete the car as you want.

link?
I was in talks with him about it after I heard he was doing it. I never had a link, I just called his cell. Its his new race chassis on a pallet. It's my understanding that some have already sold. His Jig is impressive and you can't really question his vehicles capabilities.

Miller has a few of his chassis out there. But there also a whole lot more cash.:D

Really like that can't wait to see it done.
Have you seen their box mandrel bender, or does Art Morrison do the rails?



A day at Art Morrison Enterprises with MetalWorks – MetalWorks Classic Auto Restoration
I've never been at their shop but I believe they bought out Advanced Frame Works and got into that business.
