Frankenbuggy '91 B1.75 Detroit-ish Worlds Buggy

Post by Frankentruck »

This started as a project for a friend, but in the process of drawing it up and getting parts together I decided that I needed one too.

I finally have a donor in the works for the to get me enough parts for a 99% buggy, so time to kick off this project. This is my starting point, before the lucky donor corpse arrives.

I planned to use a B2/B3/T3 front nose plate with OEM suspension mount spun around, but couldn't make an adapter bracket work with the top plate I advance ordered. So it got a new mount. My original plan called for the front shock tower to be anchored with the inner hinge pins. I stayed with that because I already had ordered the front shock tower too. Plus I like the setup. It's a little different.

The front and rear suspension mounted up normally, although I did have to notch the nose plate a little extra for the front arms. An RPM B4 mini bumper with some minor customization completed the front.

I made a mistake on my chassis plate. I should have used the inner 2 rear bulkhead mount holes. Oops. I guess I was a bit premature starting this build. Will have to get a new chassis cut. Too hard to undrill the holes in this one. 🤣

After casting off some crap, it's almost a respectable pile of junk.

I remember putting 1/2" wood screws thru some tires (rcca pit tips) bitd. Thought I was gonna dominate the ice. Turned out......nope! I cannot imagine what last dude had planned? Mine clearing ops? Grass seeding prep?
Hope you're doin' something fun.
