That's cool. It's a spiderweb of tube. Nice chassis. Big jump up from the sami.

you can always tell which rigs are his build, thats for sure. down in dayton, wes kean showed up with one on 44 tsl's at the werock. sure looked like a fish out of water compared to all the other comp rigs. but he ended up spanking them all, took 1st.

jimmys chassis are definitely unique, i love the way the 2 seaters look, i've never been a fan of his single seater though. can't wait to see how this turns out for you. i've always wondered what the visibility was like out of the front of these?

hope have it done in spring. I got propane mixer and tank mounts today, but waiting on tabs from A&A manufacturing to mount stuff. Jimmys buggys have pretty much same lines from single to 4 seater, he does topnotch work. He had 4 seater on 49's with a 43sumthing roller motor in it on rockwells when i picked up my chassis, not big on 49 iroks but it was badass!!

that's exactly why i've never been a fan of his 2 seaters, they just look funny to me, because they look like a 2 seater cut down the center, they are just too narrow imo. i've always loved his 2 seaters. pinky is really his only single seater i've liked. his rear engined personal buggy is my favorite of all of them i've seen.

That's going to be a nice looking rig. It's beautiful weather down here for camping, so you better come down while it is nice and before you get too tied up in the build.
