Spy pics of the bluggy project.

[JK5]

I started last march building my bluggy. I the frame was stripped of all it's worthless weight, and 510 lbs of tubing has replaced it. The fiewall was made from 16 GA sheet. I used the stock steering column, brake booster/master and moved them in 3", so the rig isn't so wide.

The design is my own, inspired by the formula toy and the scorpion.

More pics to come.

I'm jealous. I wish my girl would help with my rig, or wear more thongs, or both. How long have you been at this?

It's hard to find a woman that's into trucks as much as her.

She was into it, until recently, she just wants to wheel, now
Plus, I've been in the shop, way to much, I need to give her some attention too.

I've been cutting and notching tubing since july.

I've used 2-13 lb rolls of .030 wire
2 bottles of argon/co2 mix
5 saw blades for chop saw
10-20' lengths of 1 3/4" DOM steel tube.
1 4x8' 18 GA sheet
2- 23"x76" x 11 GA sheets

Now the interior needs to be completed.

Formula "Jimmy" chasis is what I'm calling it.

It's 4" wider, 6" longer than the Hendrix chassis.
Also...it's boatsided.
