I will be picking the following stuff up this week to begin a new project!

- Hendrix Motorsports X-Chassis that has been modified into a 4-seater with other mods (doesn't really look like an X-chassis anymore)
- Subframe
- Roof
- Front and Rear Links with linkends
- Motor, Tranny and T-case mounts (setup for LS1, TH350 and Atlas)
- New Aluminum radiator
- New Wilwood Pedal Assembly
- Steering Column with steering wheel
- Billet OH SH*T handle
- Ballistic fab 4 link mounts
- Carriage bearing for front 2 piece driveline
- Hummer hood that will need to be cut down to fit..............

Here are some pics as it sits, it's a roller with drivetrain in the pics but I'm just taking the above stuff.

Plans for drivetrain are:

- All Aluminum 5.3L Vortech w/ reflashed computer (340 hp)
- Built TH350 tranny
- 4.3 Atlas

Running gear will be pulled from my 4Ruggy

- Chevy D60 front, Chromo inners and outers (35spl), 4.88 gears and ARB (will be swapping out my current front Spool)

- Ford D70U rear, stock 35spl. shafts, 4.88 gears and Spool

- Full PSC double ended Hydro steering (from Ruggy)

- 42" TSL's on Allied Steel Beadlocks (to start off with, then will probably get some 39.5 Red labels on the Allied Alloy beadlocks)

I will also use misc. stuff from the Ruggy like

- Coilovers Front and Rear
- Mastercraft front seats
- 5 point harnesses
etc.

The 4ruggy will not be torn into until I have almost all the parts to complete this chassis as I will not be without a rig
like I was last time (3yrs!!!)

let me know when you need an interior :thumbsup:

I WISH I could have it done in 3 wks, that would be killer.............

I'm going to collect parts (motor, tranny, atlas) etc, etc.
Install everything I can and then when I have everything I need except the stuff from the Ruggy, then and only then I will
pull the parts from the Ruggy and finish the buggy..........

sounds like you have a good game plan :thumbsup:

Thats going to be a sick ride! I'm collecting parts too so next winter i can build another rig. Great start though

have you already picked up the parts that you are getting. if so lets see some pics :thumbsup:
