Finally getting something done
Mark Aplet
The word on the street is "good things come to those who wait". If there is any truth to that then my 151 buggy-code named "ultra poor"-should be pretty much bad ass.
I picked up my rolling chassis from the Trent Fabrication shop back in October of this year. Since then, I have had a hard time doing anything but stare at it. Between lack of funds to buy some necessary components, and not being home for (I lost count) how many weekends it pretty much sat there in the garage.
This weekend was a different story though. I picked up some 1.75 DOM from Golden State Motorsports and began cutting and notching. Although it's not much, I was able to get the "A" pillars in place, and started notching the tubes for the subframe boatsides. With any luck I will get the, finished up tomorrow after work.
While I was down at Golden State Motorsports, I was talking to owner Jeff about the headder issuse that I didn't particularly care for on the other Trent Fabrication buggies. They like to route the collector on the driver side up and over the top of the engine, something I don't really like. He told me about these circle track headers and pulled an old set off a shelf and lent them to me. They fit great overall however, I am going to borrow inspiration from their design in order to make a custom set of my own that will still allow for a passenger.
Im just happy to have actually got some work done.
