What are the pro's and con's of having something this long? does it flex? I'm interested in this.. can ya PM or call me for the frame quote? I would have my own rear suspension (from Porsche 944) and ball joint front end...

That is REALLY cool Carlos! Where did you see that? I think my next project will be a rail, if I ever finish the Buggy I have!

My Rear disk brakes should be here tomorrow! I bet I have photos of them installed and photos up and running before we see photos of your Buggy! HeHeHe Hopefully that will light a fire and we will be able to see your buggy even quicker!

To me it looks like the front tires are from the rear of a motorcycle. Am I correct?

Carlos, You may know this already but that looks like a Fugitive frame, built by Dee Engineering (Bugpack). I'm not sure if they are still being made but here is a buildup I found.
