All of the knowledge amongst all of you is amazing. I have an old that is just like you guys, everything he has, he built with incredible design, engineering and radness, everything from Sprint cars, Legends, Rails to some incredible toy haulers.

Anytime you went to one of his races you always knew which pit was his, because it always had the most people standing around admiring his builds

[MotoRacer]

Love the explanations of why it’s built a certain way.

Yeeeeaaah...The fu-man-shu looks gangster dawg!👍 roll with it

Guys I'm seeing something here. I'm not trying to talk smack, just trying to articulate what I'm observing about the vehicle while considering what the owner has stated. I watched the video several times soaking things in. The fab work is brilliant and I'm stoked. I'm very interested in how the front suspension and steering turns out.

#1) Rear firewall. Separate that fuel cell from the occupants. In my 20 years of building vehicles, no matter what fuel leaks when I've rolled.

#2) With the rear cooling in mind, imagine behind the seats having two parts. A lower firewall to separate the fuel cell from the cabin and an upper section to bring the air in from the roof and the side scoops for cooling. Both sections designed for there own purpose that work together.

It's an opportunity to create a "void" or vacuum space/cavity for roof cooling airflow and at the same time, keep fuel out of the cabin.

Airflow may be hindered by the A pillar roof lights going into the roof air scoops, I'm not sure. Maybe a spoiler behind the roof lights to smooth the air flow?

I'd prefer to run a windshield too. I think with the area behind the seats being sealed off up higher for better cooling airflow would utilize the side scoops more effectively. Maybe with some interior duct work or extending the side scoops into the upper cooling cavity?

Getting rear seats in with all that going on would be a trick but I think it could be done.

Shame on me if I'm out of line.

But dang it, separate that fuel cell from the cabin if nothing else

Can’t forget about us over at R3fabraction who put the engine in it and rebuilt the whole rear-end and many more little things

[georgef]

My next personal big build is a “street legal” bug. Blake’s first bug inspired me and now this bug is exactly what I want. I love it. Can’t wait too tig one up!!! Great build!

[brianjacobs]

That is a bad ass ride That is the most cleanest most well done bug I have ever seen that bug is probably the best and most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life that is a piece of art. I’m going to be honest Blake I really wished your new ride looked like this one

[offroadcrazy]

That bug is one badass buggy. 😎 awesome fab work brother

[RandomStuffGarage]

This was Eric's like... he's "jumped in" now? Lol he has been around with you guys so long I didn't know it wasn't official haha
Congrats Eric!!!
Where is the holguin edits could have put the "one of us" meme in there haha
