Project "Snow Drift"

Recommended Posts

Oldskool

I've wanted to do this type of project for a while now. So here we go. The name was given by @wallfish. It will be called "The Yeti".  It will be painted and badged in a military theme. The front axle is in progress now.

Thanks. I think it's going to be fun but also a bit of a head scratcher. Another pic will be posted later on today

The front axle is done for now, and now a bit of frame action.

Yeah, I'd imagine so but the challenge is all part of the fun too.

      I've had some stuff laying around for a while now. I've had some ideas kicking around my head for a while as well.
      Well they met each other a few days ago.
      This is going to be a camp buggy of sorts. 
      Like any of my other builds I would appreciate any input anyone want to donate.

      I started a thread a little while back "Something from Nothing". It has been upgraded to this thread because now I'm building something from something lol. I started with a new frame and strengthened the transaxle mount a bit.
