Buckshot front engine buggy,

that is interesting.  I wonder how it dunes.  or is that really a dune buggy or a "desert" buggy (or a street car disguised as an off road vehicle)?

 
Buckshot builds some COOL Moo Sheeenes!!!! awesome lines!

 
I remember watching Andrew build this car.  I think it was more his take on the "Rally Fighter" from Local Motor several years back. I'm pretty sure he only built this one. I think its a pretty cool concept,  but not sure how it would dune with the front engine.  I guess similar to the V8 Rails from back in the day.

 
Cool AF and seems like a pretty good deal for the right person . . .

 
Watched the build from the ground up then drove it on the street when he finished it. CA street plated. Cool car.

Racer has a front engine sandrail, it was on display a few SSSS's ago in the Hangar. Dale has built a few of them but I haven't seen one in Glamis yet. 

 
I guess if you didn't want to wheelie and just dune this would be ideal.

Remember seeing him rip that thing through the canyons.   

 
Sorry Fat Fingered that one, Cant afford a transaxle, then this would be a good way to build a car,

Seeing more and more front engine builds recently. Can save a ton of money not running a transaxle; though the hung member does add to cost/complexity if irs is wanted 

 
You can put a hung IRS member from a bunch of dif SUVs, like, I think, Expedtion, Exploder,  Suburban (maybe), Nissan Armada, maybe Pathfinder, Sequioa....I think on all of those, and I am sure that are more.  The Q, what sort of R&P do they come with.

UR gonna need a 10"+ ring gear if you really want to handle any real HP/paddles.  That really limits the selection of IRS set-ups - although the Ultra4 guys are running some insane 3rd members.

The Ford 9'' housing will except a Pro 9 Gear that is a 10'' gear, but the automatic will be easier on the ring and pinion, the pro 9 are used in Top-A cars making 3500-HP and also used in some Desert Trucks running races all year,   My Favorite is still Kevin DD car,
