LeRoy's Monster Buggy

"Skipped Link" built a Monster Buggy! It has a 460 and C6, so I guess it's ok to post it here:
http://pirate4x4.com/forum/showthrea...=monster+buggy

It's pretty much got the whole story of the build, but you can page through the thread and just check out the pics if nothing else.

"Skipped Link" is LeRoy, a member of the Nevada chapter.

And he is a great car builder, this is not his first.

There are probably a few old timers on here that remember the last one I did on here.

I've now seen your 40's something truck and that buggy.

Awesome builds! And I have to admit I laughed my *** off on that video of your buggy. Got a bit of air and came down and broke both tie rods and flattened your flat tires. Just the way it looked, 9 seconds into the video and your front end is on the ground.

Great job on the buggy, and the truck though.

Speaking of which, what do you do for a living Skipped Link? I think I might have asked in the other thread about your truck but I don't remember.

Yeah that first event was a dandy, found a few bugs to work out, the funny thing is I've jumped it harder than that before with no damage, Oh well part of the fun is working the bugs out,
I was a little dissapointed at first, but we got it back togeather in time to compete in the last 2 events,

As for my work, I am a small vehicles fleet mechanic at a gold mine, So yeah, I get to work on ford pickups all day & get paid for it,

Glad you enjoyed the builds,

Don't let that slow you down, Every project I've ever had, when complete, I knew the next one would be better,
skills = practice,
So go build something, so the next one can be better,

That's right. You don't have to "shoot the moon" on your first project. Start off with something that you can finish, and get it done. Go from there.
