    My slow build

    Here are some pics of what I am building. It's a Morphic Industries buggy with my own twist on things. It will have a built LS2, Albins trans, and other new ideas that we think of as we go along.

    I am not going to paint the frame just the aluminum panels. Duane Dixon is fitting the aluminum and he is one of the best that I know of. For the rest I have a great network of friends for the rest of the help.

    I also get some help from Chuck at DuneBuggy.com he is a great guy and helps quite a bit. Not to mention Bryce, Tom Yancer (Tom Yancer Race Cars)www.tyrc.com as well as many others who lend a helping hand.

    Re: My buggy updates

    Here are some more pics of my Morphic dual sport. I'm sure the heat will get to me over the summer since I don't have a/c in my garage.

    Re: My slow build

    That is a power tank and thier bracket. I have some air jacks from SAW that I will be putting on the car as well. I also plan on having 2 air chucks on the car for tires and other things that require air.

    I know that Co2 expands vs. nitrogen but this is only to get me back to camp. I'd rather have to much than not enough, since I like to carry as much as necessary on the car for those just in case things that happen out in the middle of nowhere.

    Looks great!

    Did you fab the sway-bar arm? If so...where did you get the Female spline collar?

    The sway bar and arms are from Geiser Bros. Rick made them for me since that is what Morphic uses on their cars anyways but a lot cheaper going direct. If you are looking for the inserts I'd give Rick a call. He is a really nice guy and easy to talk to.
