Well i said that I would never build a 1 seater but I guess Im gunna give in. Im getting a frame in a few days. It needs a lot of work, its a funco frame. im gunna cut the top off and redesign it for more of a cab forward design. Its gunna take some time cuz Im doin it as I can. I will keep pics posted. Let the BASHING begin. |

My 2 seateer is a cab forward design so i could move my seat forward off the torsion. when I first got the 2 seater it would flip at the drop of a dime, i needed weight on the front. This build is gunna be a lot of trial and error. It will prolly get a couple of diferent roofs before i get it figured out. Im planning on making it climb as good as my 2 seater and do the cookie cuttin. Im going to build it light but tough. I cant wait. And Marty im putting 44inch boggers on it. |

Im goin big. I talked to bebo and we are gunna freshen his motor back up and use it until I get mine built. Hes got to fix his frame after 11,437 roll overs. It will take a while to fix his frame so Im goin 2500 straight out of the box. Ive got abad feeling about this but it should be fun. |
