A little winter project... in Jamaica - Tube Chassis Evo DIY

26 pages so far... didn't read it, just looked at pictures. Looks BUSTED... and probably will be shit, but hey, its inspiration, right?

So much for fit and finish...

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.

I have been watching the build over on 4g61t.org since it started. It is a great idea, but the chassis/cage scares me. It looks like the guy is using some quality parts on there, but I am not sure if the chassis will hold together :shock:

FAIL
People from the caribbean islands have looked at the AMS time attack car and called its construction nothing less than "shabby" the question is for what the car is DESIGNED to do is whatever you chose to apply meet the requirments of what your trying to do or as mark said do you need to build it to dakar RALLY specs for it achieve it purpose
Who the fuck thinks they can throw steel pipe together and talk shit about the AMS evo? The AMS evo isnt even "the best the US has to offer", but its way better than that eye raping pile of mis placed metal.

thAT CAR IS A JOKE, I fabricate 25.5 and 25.2 chassis for a living and that is just dangerous. I wouldnt even feel safe if it was going down the road on a trailer, in fear the tubes holding the car dow will break jease. lol
