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.

twiztedzuki · 10-18-2010, 12:30 PM

Yeah wes's single seater looks good. watched sum vids from Dayton, wes making it up sum bonus lines. I would have liked to see his buggy on 44s compared to other comp rigs! Probly had twice the wheelbase to compared to others!

Looks fast and intimidating just sitting there! pics almost 5 years old?

twiztedzuki · 10-18-2010, 04:54 PM

thanks, no didnt reset dates on camera. Picked up in Chattanooga, Tn last weekend

94Dodge Truggy · 10-18-2010, 04:58 PM

when you think the rig's completion date will be? Hopefully not 3 years like some on this site! I forget about em after a few months or so! Get er done!!!

mckeddie · 10-18-2010, 05:45 PM

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?

twiztedzuki · 10-18-2010, 08:06 PM

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.

BIGRAM · 10-19-2010, 11:51 AM

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.

twiztedzuki · 10-19-2010, 09:33 PM

I'll be sure to have it rapped up. It's been a while since I have been out

Keep me posted.

humpy · 10-20-2010, 03:24 PM

Haddix505 · 10-20-2010, 07:24 PM

Yea that's one bad ass looking buggy.

twiztedzuki · 10-20-2010, 07:49 PM

BIGRAM · 10-21-2010, 10:07 PM

Was thinking the same thing, though I seem to see a lot of buggies on the 'net with a single tank. A friend carries 3 tanks on his trail rig and typically goes through a full tank and has to switch over to the second tank on a trail day.

twiztedzuki · 10-22-2010, 10:26 AM

good question! I got one spare, and a thirsty 500hp small block! I guess hav to wait and see

You'll need more than 1 spare, my 190ish HP V6 uses atleast 1 tank in a day of wheel'n. I have 4 that I bring for a full weekend, and I might know where 1 or 2 more are for a small price if you need some...

jwend · 10-22-2010, 06:59 PM

Depends on how you wheel it, a good 8hr day is average, sometime less. But for sure get a few tanks, it will suck down pane the first few times you wheel it, pane set ups are self adjusting. The first run i had mine on it sucked down two tanks in probly 6 hours. Now I can flogg it 8 to ten hours and still have fuel in tank when i swap them.
I also may have a tank or few for sale i think i have ten total and use 4 or 5 of them
