Project 1/2 scale (I shall call him Squirrel)
So amid collecting parts for my 4 link and my aluminum dash, I became lustful of building a 1/2 scale Jeep build in the meantime. My boys are currently 6 and 3yrs so I need to get on the ball and get this thing going. The body was originally for a lawn tractor conversion so it's pretty small. My plan is to put in a shaft drive ATV engine using a Samurai transfer case and axles. The axles will need to be narrowed on the long side but that's not a big deal. Out here in Phoenix, it's damn hard to find a utility ATV and especially one that is wrecked or parting out. I was looking for a unit that was capable of running so I knew it all worked before disassembling the entire ATV. I ended up going up to Vegas to get A Honda 400 ATV. After getting it back to the house and getting it running, I took out the motor and the useable parts. Now it's off to the difficult part of making it all work. I'll post up some pics from my phone since my desktop isn't playing well right now...
