Well it has been forever so I guess it is time for an update. I wheeled this turd, as you see it in the pics above, one time and did not like it. I wheeled great but a Sammy based rig is simply not big enough for me. So, I found this chassis for sale and though what the hell. Definatly cheaper than building one from scratch. I put all the drive train under it and after two years of working on it, off and on, it was time to buy some seats and get them mounted. Guess what? The entire time I was working on this chassis, I never sat in it. Needless to say, I bought some seats, and I did not fit in it!!!:evilgrin:

I decided to cut the top and rework it. Then I noticed some other things that I did not like so I cut it all the way down to the floor.

A few months go by and Armstrong tells me about a single seater he was interested in and I rode along with him to look at. The tube work was amazing and I found out who built it. Turns out to be a fellow by the name of J. Rhodus. After talking with him about a few ideas, I decided what the hell, lets build a new rig. Went out and checked the progress today. :evilgrin: I have until July to get this built (Lil' Biggin will be here!!! :sweatin:) and am so ready to get it done.

Stop by a body shop and see if they have any boxes that car hoods or bumper covers come in.
