JHF 2-seater build

[Dennis]

Minor set-back this weekend. Instead of making progress, I had to weld up caliper slider bolt holes and re-drill/re-tap them closer to the axle center line. Brackets I bought were made for 12.5" rotors and mine were 11.5".

Next on the list is to figure out where power steering reservoir, brake pedal, battery, fuel tank, fuel pump, line lock, cutting brakes, etc will go. At least they are all small enough and I have plenty of space to fit them.

Rear upper links and you can see the rear seat mount crossbar.

Started laying out my dash and firewall.

Interior is what I hate doing the most for sure!

Only three panels. The side panels will have to have small horizontal pieces to fill in between the panel and the frame, but shouldn't be too hard.



There's going to be another tube tying together both dash tubes just below the Atlas shifter.

Made rear upper shock mounts. Just have to finish welding and it can be a roller.

Also got my shifter mounted.

Looking Good Dennis. Nice to see the build moving along. Makes me want to tear into the yota. But... No $$ = No Build. keep the updates coming.

 

[Dennis]

Nothing new, just mounted the shifter between the seats.

Gotta figure out placement for battery and gas tank and let the wiring fun begin.

 

[Dennis]

Moved the shifter a bit forward to make space for cutting brakes right behind it. Shortened the cutting brake handles.


Mounted the transmission and steering coolers.

 

[Dennis]

Started chopping on the hood to get it to fit.

 

[Dennis]

Made the dash panel and a panel behind it to mount some relays and the ECU to.

 

[Dennis]

Made side panels for the firewall/dash.

I'm not sure how I've not seen this thread yet. But i will have to pay more attention now.looks awesome.the flatty buggy this is based on has always been my favorite.and has been the base of my dream buggy i have built many times in my head.

All taken apart now, to finish welding and paint the chassis. Once it starts to look like something again I'll take some pics.

Looks like it needs a bigger motor...

170 HP, baby!

I'd rather turbo it, if I need more power.
