Budget basher

[Barnfind]

As the title says this will just be a budget basher build with nothing fancy (for now). Over time I will slowly upgrade the parts and make a more modernized buggy.

so far I have disassembled everything cleaned and replaced a few things. replaced the trans case with a new re re one and got a re re steering set up with ball bearings. Also taped off tub to be cut, taking 5/16 off. Also the A stamp on the tub looks really deep and also double stamped is this a normal thing?

Results of the cutting, didn't turn out to bad I think

Was looking at the rpm arms available and was wondering if they were any better then the stock arms front and rear as I have never used them before but I have seen them on several cars on here. Any opinons on these arms would be appreciated thanks.

they are about equal to stock arms. They are a little tougher, especially if your arms are old and brittle. You could do the boiling water trick to freshen the stock ones, and just replace IF you break them. No significant improvement with the RPM ones otherwise.
