I'm right in the middle of building a Formula Toy.
This is my old rig.

And the soon to be completed rig...

Yo Tice! When in October? I was planning to hit TDD the first weekend of October, but I don't think I'm going to be finished in time. I have been working every weekend and almost everynight after work, and it don't look any different.

Tice · September 06, 2006, 09:52:04 PM

I think we are set on the weekend of the 7th, 8th and 9th. I know the feeling, seems like when I get one thing done I remember something else. I picked up a set of 15 in. ranchos from Desert Rat for 75 bucks. for the rear.

azyota · September 09, 2006, 08:36:31 PM

That's the same weekend as TDD. I already committed to doing that. I'll have to catch you guy's another time. Are you running twisted?
We should start planning another Thanksgiving trip.

Tice · September 09, 2006, 09:00:15 PM

I'm not sure if we are running Twisted or not, Sam was talking to Jeff last night about it.

azyota · September 10, 2006, 09:12:18 PM

From what I have heard, Twisted is the trail to do last.... Nobody likes to break on the first day.

Tice · September 10, 2006, 09:16:01 PM

Yep, I've been hearing that too.

BTW way, did you have any problems with the brakes on your old rig?

azyota · September 10, 2006, 09:42:05 PM

They were never very good, but I thought that was just the 37's. Why, What's up?

Tice · September 11, 2006, 02:00:04 PM

Having a problem with them. They have no pressure till the pedal is almost on the floor. I threw my brake booster on so now I'm going to try my MC. and see what happens.

azyota · September 15, 2006, 08:57:45 PM

Well, any results yet?

azyota · September 15, 2006, 09:00:32 PM

I just got a couple parts in from http://www.12voltguy.com
Can't wait to get this stuff hooked up.

All pre-wired and ready to go....

Tice · September 15, 2006, 10:45:04 PM

I stole Ryans spare MC from his 94. All I did was bench bleed it and hooked it up and it's about100% better. Got my steering res. done tonight so I'll be able to road test it tommorow.

Back to the subject at hand......Love that panel!!

Thanks! And you would be someone I know?

For anyone that's interested, here is my buildup on wheelingarizona.com http://wheelingarizona.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7463

azyota · November 17, 2006, 05:08:58 AM

Due to 12hr days at work and not a lot of weekend time this build is taking me forever. I'm trying ti have it running by the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend. If it's not done, it will be because I dont have a fitting or something. Almost all the fab is comlete. Here are a few progress pics.
Switch mount.

Intake.

Rear, and tail lights.

Diff cover.

Rear Storage.

And the Anti Wrap bar in the rear.

yotadork83 · November 17, 2006, 06:59:11 AM

what id you make your intake out of i want to relocate my girlfriends but dont know what tubing to use. also how far did you inboard your springs? where do you live in arizona i live in flagstaff and am always looking for some one to wheel with?
ps this rig is sick!!!!!!

azyota · November 17, 2006, 10:49:22 AM

I used 33" exhaust tubing. You can get pre-bent pieces at exhaust and performance shops.

Then get some straight pieces, cut the bent parts up and weld them into whatever shape you want.

I'm in Tucson. Check here for upcoming Arizona runs. http://wheelingarizona.com/forums/index.php?sid=92104e36d0d3f0d1b88ecd3ac428a4c0

DANG!

Rocksurfer · November 17, 2006, 02:06:05 PM

Very nice Buggy!

Tice · November 17, 2006, 08:32:01 PM

Looking great Pat!! Now get back to work!!!

Tice · November 17, 2006, 08:33:21 PM

Oh, don't you mean 3 inch exhaust tubing? I might be wrong but 33 inch might be a little big!!!

azyota · November 17, 2006, 09:07:02 PM

Thanks for the compliments

Tice, shouldn't you be rolling your rig back over?

Tice · November 17, 2006, 10:52:21 PM

Already did that, but next time someone is sitting in the rig with a foot on the brake!!!

azyota · November 19, 2006, 07:59:09 PM

Today was a good day. I probably hve a few tabs to add, but for the most part the fab is finished.

Many thanks to one of my friends Doug for coming over and helping with the paint.
Still have a wiring nightmare to get thru, but damn it's getting close...

Progress pic......... I hate wiring!

I just ordered a harness from Off road Solutions to hopefully make things a bit easier. It's at the bottom of the page.
