Welded in and mocked up. Need to replumb the brake lines and throw some paint on it.

Didn't they used to have black covers on them? Are you putting new covers on them or something?

They do have covers but I had to pull them to yank the seats out. I have new covers on them now. Also I didn't want to screw them up test fitting stuff.

Thank you Josh. It definitely has balls for a little car. I NEED MORE SUSPENSION!!! all in all ran pretty well. I have an alternator kit coming and with a few more adjustments on the carbs it'll run perfect.

A lot has been going on aside from the buggy lately but I've managed to take some time on it. I bought the hex bar linkage setup and had to extend the brackets as the cross bar hit the alternator. I got all the linkage in and adjusted. I need to pull the brackets back apart for some paint. Also I fully aligned the alternator and fitted the correct belt along with the new fan.

Yes sir. I watched my uncles grenade. He has a turbod 1835 and the throttle pedal got stuck. Threw the fan blades through the shroud. Luckily no one was hurt. That made me order one right away.
