Bent Fabrications?
Anyone dealt with them before? They are running a killer deal on a chassis right now and I'm seriously thinking of picking one up.

Does Smith have a website? I haven't been able to find any pricing for his stuff yet on Pirate.

I tried to get a basic 4 seat from Bent a couple years back and he told me he was not producing chassis anymore.. I ended up with a EOR that I like..

Thanks for the info, guess I'll do a little more research and price shopping first. Twizted, that is similar to what I'm looking for, a basic tube chassis, except I want a two seater.

Smith alot more detail and alot more tube and 1 off buggy, i cut top off Bent chassis rite now and bending alot better looking cage and and engine cage, make it alittle nicer to the eye. hard to beat 2000 for a chassis also

$2800 for a one seater or $3650 for a two seater, just not seeing the killer deal there. I'm sure there are guys on this site that could build an awesome chassi for alot less than that.

He is running a special intro pricing for the evo2 chassis. $1800 for the standard and $2k for the extended cab version. Still doing research, and trying to figure out what type and drivetrain I want to run.

2k good deal id just add little for tube make it look more aetna type buggy. i dont like the tall shock hoops and square roofs u see on buggys around here. most comp type buggys around here look like they only used 4 sticks a tube, but i partial to Tn buggys

there are cheaper chassis out there......
but like anything else, ya get what ya pay fer. Im sure u already know what performance goals you are trying to reach and have a sketched out view of how u want it to look....any builder worth his salt can work off your drawings. no need for a cookie cutter;) hey you still makin that big diesel into a buggy someday?
