Progress on Allison Dunebuggy

« on: January 30, 2007, 08:30:23 PM »
Thought I would post a few transitional shots of my Allison Dunebuggy.  I have been working on it this winter and hope to be finished in time to make Bug A Paluzza . The chassis is now mated to the body and I am in the process of wiring in the lighting and all the circuits.  Nearly finished with the steering shaft and column mounting.   The abs brake system should be wired in by this weekend.  I will be working on the instruments next.  The bumper and rollbar are being shipped to Dallas plating for chroming.  I just love it when a plan comes together.  Later guys and gals, see you in Chattanooga.

Looking Good !!   I wish mine was this far along, but with no inside place to work and a stint in the hospital with a heart valve repair, I got slowed down big time this winter but I will "getter done"
