Well I have been messing with the rear drive system and have to modify a few things to get my design to work. ONce I get it fabbed up I will take a picture and show you my design. Will not work on anything high hp but his little 13hp motor should be cake. Anyway started planning my car now. The frame will be almost identical but am torn between a 600 and a 1000cc motor. Dont know which i Should go with. Chain drive system is going to be one of protodies set ups. I think they look great. Would love to do a rpm box but havnt seen any royalties from getting thoughs two together (just kidding) anyway fnr box just not in the cards on this one. Oh well. talk to you soon

ok here is a picture of the various sprockets I am going to use for the rear drive system. Your just gonna have to wait to see my design built before you can hack on it
anyway I hope this weekend I will get a chance to do something on the buggy but I doubt I will be able to do anything till after christmas. Also I would like to give a major shout out to Doug Heim as he is putting together an order I have made with him for a majority of the laser parts, pircv rear drive, and front hubs, brakes, and calipers for my baracuda project I am building after this. Dougs the man if you want anything for the baracuda. The laser parts I got from him so far are top notch. I will start a seperate build log when this one is done and show everything. Talk to you soon

Well as always if I didnt have bad luck I would have none at all. Looks like my company has decided to cut way back on hours so buggy stuff has got to go. In for sale section you will find some great deals on the parts I have. Doug has stepped in and offered to buy back all the parts he sold me for my cuda projest after he did such a great job and I am almost in tears to see it all go. I was so looking forward to shreading with my son in our cars but priorities have got to come first. I must have a cloud over my head for the last couple years as most you remember the gremlins I dealt with in my r82. Oh well there is a lot of people in worse shape then me and my heart goes out to them. The frame needs tabs for suspension and such but if anyone is interestd in it let me know. They can have it for $100 and come pick it up in Vegas. Like I said though it will need more work but its worth the steel thats in it. well take a look at the for sale section lots of good parts at cheep cheep prices. See ya all on the other side of this financial desaster.

Bike,
Sorry to read about your company's cut back in hours and how it affects your family. I saw the ads and thought - not again!

One day my friend. One day . . .

Good luck.
