sand chick Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 (edited) Sandbob1973 Garage Creations strikes again. He started a new project Easter weekend. Lets see how it progresses. Last time he turned a bug into a roadster project Hi Boy: thought I had a better pic Now we are on to Project Truggy. Here is the starting points. I can't believe he killed his buggy for this oh well he wanted a four seater any how. It was a Blazer It was a hi jumper buggy Now it's the beginning of "The Mammoth" like Ice Age! That is me with our friend and Garage Creation assistant Bernie Keep you posted as the project progresses. Lets see how it turns out. Edited May 22, 2007 by buggychick Quote
Grimace Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Yeah!!! That creation looks like its going to be fun. I like projects when I get them done. I'll be watchin.... Quote
dunefreak Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 WTF!!!??? Not to sound too much like 1320 , but I hope there are plans for much more cage than that sandrail frame on top. All that extra weight is gonna definitley call for more protection in case of a rollover. Bob, why on earth would you hack up your rail to do that? Quote
dunefreak Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Just for reference, THIS is what come sto mind when I think of a truggy. Looks like fun...I think. Keep us posted on the progress. Quote
BudlightBob Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 This is the only way I could find to get me a new buggy. Besides DR Bud Light is helping me with this one. He is very creative. Don't worry. It will be safe? At least it is not a RHINO. It won't poop in the DUNES! Quote
sand chick Posted April 13, 2007 Author Posted April 13, 2007 I know I know I thought when he first started the project "Hi Boy", but it turned out So I have to believe this one will to. I have seen the concept pics and it should turn out ok I hope! As long as its green until completion! Quote
lakecitydan Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 I know I know I thought when he first started the project "Hi Boy", but it turned out So I have to believe this one will to. I have seen the concept pics and it should turn out ok I hope! As long as its green until completion! Who's going to tow that beast in when you break it in the hills? A little sad to see the old buggy go(sounds a little sensitive) screw it make some extra cuts for me Quote
RAGDOLL MX Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 if i were you i would put a boat on top of that Blazer chassis. and ill take the sand rail chassis off of your hands, and then go buy Brices motor....then steal petes wheels....and Bert horn.... Quote

If bob was smart he would have fixed the buggy sold it bought a tubing bender and tubing built a cage on that blazer that won't fold like a house of cards( I know how tough that cage is)been able to build a buggy again when I find out my blazer truggie thing sucks,and still had money left over. but that just a dumb a$$ insensitive bastard talking.

sand chick Posted April 15, 2007 Author Posted April 15, 2007 A little more progress. More reinforcements on the buggy frame: Starting of the nose piece. Now its starting to make a little more sense to me... B) Quote

A few years ago he combined a three wheeler and a old seadoo :freakin_nuts: It was to drive in a parade turned out pretty cool. He even put windshield washer valves on it to squirt people with water along the route. Quote

Lets see how it turns out. what the hell are you thinkin??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? that is not the way to do that. my good friend builds race trucks/truggies and they sure as hell dont look like that. just my 2 cents but that looks like a real disaster waiting to happen. good luck, be safe.

lakecitydan Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 A little more progress. More reinforcements on the buggy frame: Starting of the nose piece. Now its starting to make a little more sense to me... B) Now just build a roll cage around the cage for safty and ad another 200ft of tubing and maybe some differant running gear and then you might have something I'm starting to like the boat idea! will this be like the other projects that get used once then sit behind the tow shop and die Quote
sand chick Posted April 15, 2007 Author Posted April 15, 2007 How about some pointers and advice on building a rockcrawler? Quote
MAXDOUT Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 looking at what has started, there is no lateral bracing....just up and down tubing to the frame. NOT GOOD. but good luck anyway. :mc_smiley: Quote
woolworth motorsports Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 I would have kept the blazer body. Quote
sand chick Posted April 16, 2007 Author Posted April 16, 2007 I would have kept the blazer body. We have it, if you want it! Quote

We are going to be doing an exo on it, getting more tubing for more bracing. Just starting with the crap we have laying around. Today it RUNS!! And burned out in the garage Stunk up the whole house!
