    Excellent. Who needs a body for that first ride? You really should get yourself a proper seat though, like a traditional milk crate.

    Nice looking chassis and it even moves by itself.

    I have been selling guns, tools, and anything else I can get my hands on to save up for the body. Just going very slowly though...

    Yeah, those $ 50 purchases aren't so hard to handle, but when the parts start having more zeros behind the price they take a little longer. We all know how that feels.

    I think ya need a steering wheel at least, looks like you're driving w/a pair of vise grips.

    Originally, I wanted to go with a New Age and was well on the way of getting it. However the bad economy has hit me so hard it put the price is just way out of my reach and is just a lottery dream now. Ole field Custom has an affordable unit that fits my budget better. Ole Field's is a 2 1/2 chop instead of the New Age 3" chop. I have not seen it in person so I can't vouch quality of it... New Age I have seen in person, and it is awesome. But like I said, New Age is just a dream now. I even took my rifle in the back yard and shot the ground 3 times praying for a Jed Clampett moment (hahaha).

    TooMany2count - I think ya need a steering wheel at least, looks like you're driving w/a pair of vise grips.
    Haha ... It is a extra long double d shaft with a piece of cold rolled welded as a Tee....Yep, good ole redneck engineering !!
