Very, very nice!

As i was reading the title "homebuilt gas buggy with 25cc engine" i thought, "oh, another project not to be finished as so many others", but here the car is finished before the project-thread has barely started:D

Looking very much forward to see some more pictures.

This is one of the favorite custom build's I've seen. Great job Customrc100. It look's so realistic. I like those wheels / tires too.

Hello my good man,

Do you mind telling me how you made up the 2 piece metal rims which you used the ABSring for bead lock, were they purchased or did you make them up too?

Iam thinking of making up 4" 2 piece rims the same way but just can't figure out what you've done here in the attachement.

Thank you

Apachy
