ok so i got this crazy idea when i was cruisin around in a bobcat loader at work...im gonna take my motor and all the wiring out of my 89 and transplant it to a dune buggy frame, rebuild the engine with lower compression and forged internals to accomidate a large turbo...what do you think?

I think 99% of people who say they have a "crazy idea" have summed up their project in the first word, and virtually none of them will ever get off the ground, let alone see themselves through to completion.

hmmmm....built a buggy out of a crown vic with a police interceptor...this WILL happen. didn't do too great at little sahara due to the fact that it wanted to fall on its face. so the next mod is some 77 hi-boy axles...can anyone say 4x4 dune racer?! i was thinkin of doing like a single seater frame to keep it as light as possible with some long travel suspension on the new sand rail...
