couple more FXT buggies

[ProtoDie]

I hope everybody takes note of all the rusty circles on the jig plate LOL
second shift is brutal,,, and usually thirsty

[ProtoDie]

fully welded on the rotisserie, just added floor, rear shock mounts, mirror mounts, lower window net mount, brake lock mount,,,,, and a few other things. Next is dash, vents, aluminum body, fuel cell and spoiler

[Bullnerd]

Uuummmm......buggy looks nice and all, but......is that a giant azz speaker on the wall behind it?

[ProtoDie]

LOL, yup big azz speaker,,, couple of them , all the following will be non-buggy related but cool man stuff

9 speakers total on shop side and a 1000 watt receiver . it pounds
Plus a 12' movie screen built into the wall with a projector mounted from the ceiling.
have had many movie nights and Rock band on the big screen

we always have music cranking during work and play,,,,, I find silence deafening
I have separate systems in my office and the lounge AKA the Bon Jody Bar n Grill






this is the lounge side my son and I finished over the past year





I also started designing and building custom bar tables and made a corporate desk for a company with there corporate logo embedded

here is my bar table,,, seats 10 plus. Has a steel old school compass laser cut and embedded in the resin epoxy top





the compass is also laser cut in the design of the table "X" legs and a 1 1/2 stainless tube foot bar goes thru the laser cut legs








here is the custom corporate desk table, their logo is laser cut steel, then I machined out the wood to recess it flush,,,, then epoxy resin over top





legs of both tables I designed are laser cut steel plates screwed to each side of 4 x 4 wood




while this is all non buggy related, and I'm giving a tour of the shop,,,here are pics of my dogs LOL
pup is Mavrik, he is 5 months old, Female is Karley, she is 3. Probably making puppies in the next year,,, the way he is sniffing around



Mavrik

I would imagine that's pretty close.

Although....I bet there's a pizza oven around somewhere? Or some other meat searing device?

I'm speechless man! Great job all the way around!
