Lornaben · « **Reply #82 on:** November 24, 2009, 07:48:45 PM »

Don't think its supposed to be a Jeep as such, more like its supposed to be a buggy

ya know people keep pokin and pissin because "it aint a jeep", "well its a buggy not a real rig"
i dont care who you are from a fabricator and an over enthusiast to the sport
RESPECT

but brother they made a mistake..........................................steering wheel is on the wrong side

Nosebolt · « **Reply #85 on:** November 25, 2009, 10:04:20 PM »

question wasn't meant as a piss take, was seriously intrested if any Jeep parts were used

isle of man · « **Reply #86 on:** November 25, 2009, 10:15:50 PM »

In the true spirit of the event it will look "jeep like" when I have finished - just like it did when I started the project - it was also south paw then!!!!

Dave69 · « **Reply #87 on:** November 26, 2009, 05:45:17 PM »

in the view of JJ, how many NASCAR's are actually the street car they are supposed to be ? none just a space frame chassis withe ally body work.

same goes fro IOM's buggy. super strong but will look like a jeep. As for cost it is as much as you want it to be.

Nice engineering... You wanted a Jeep face to it I believe.... a few posts ago........
Came across an article about sand rails Glamis and 2 wheel drive sand rails with 1000 horse nitrous up the dunes.... etc
Most of the tube frame rigs built by Larry Minor and all with a Jeep 'face' might be worth a 'google'

isle of man · « **Reply #89 on:** January 06, 2010, 03:37:53 PM »

I'm still struggling with the clip on the Buggy - this is the latest, not sure about it to be honest......Its just a mockup at this stage.

Panic mechanic! · « **Reply #90 on:** January 06, 2010, 04:23:37 PM »

can you not cut a triangular section out of the middle of a normal bonnet? I think that would look better.

They are right tho, steering wheels on the 'gay' side

normalbloke · « **Reply #91 on:** January 06, 2010, 04:27:28 PM »

I appreciate it is only a mock up, but I suspect the cardboard and its associated colour makes it look so/so.I think if that was made from pre-preg carbon it would look spot on.

Good luck

Dave69 · « **Reply #92 on:** January 07, 2010, 11:03:42 AM »

You need to change the steering wheel.

pre-preg carbon would look spot on but totally imparctical for offraoding. any side impact will break it resulting in a scrap panel that cant be repaired. light ally sheet or tin which can be knocked back into shape or taken off and repaired.

If it is made properly the mounts will give long before the carbon.

Carbon sounds great but I drove Clyro last year with a Guy who had carbon arches on his bobtail Range Rover. He smashed two trying to get to a punch. He runs a fabrication business and made them himself and even he admitted that it wasn't the right material - something that can be re-worked with a hammer would be best.

As for the look, I think it's good. Most buggys have a slightly odd 'face' in my opinion, just get it done and use it a few times. It can then be changed if really necessary or I suspect you'll have other more functional changes you'll want to make.

Just go with it, stop faffing, get the fecker over here and wheel it's tits off

You can feck about with grilles later, surely actually driving it is more of a priority?

Has anybody considered that maybe Peter has plans to take many long holidays to the states to wheel his truck there, as its being built there, where offroading and rockcrawling is smiled upon and not put a close second as a crime to murder like this country before shipping it home! I would! and take my time over the planning so I could get as many test trips in to make sure the truck was just right before bringing her home!
