The fabrication is a bit sketchy, but it serves my purposes.

Mike B I had some plywood covering that area, but I guess it shifted en route to get stones. No matter. It was only a mile to my home. | | | | | Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,130 Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums | | Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,130 | Man, those are some serious "overload springs".  I built a dune buggy when I was a kid, and welded the rear axle to the frame. Fortunately, we never got it completed, to try it out, so my back is better for that than it would have been. Those are some rough fenders as well. But they look solid.

You will be helping some rebuilder out. The suspension (or lack of suspension)is pretty sketchey and I'm not sure it meets any kind of legal standards. | | |
