Re: Woodsbuggy1 2276 Turbo Build
I just have one other buggy to wire this winter, and it is a carbed system should only take part of a weekend. I have been working on my shop, building a new room to house the lathe and a couple of mills. I hope to be able to actually start making some of the parts that are currently only in my head and poor drawings. .

I received my heads back from Brothers today, they needed all new guides, new springs, all 4 intake valves and decked. Hopefully they are now ready for use. I will inspect, CC and clean them tomorrow evening and prep them for install.

Yes it sucks, but I am moving on. The thing that bothers me the most is encouraging Art and others to buy DRD heads. I have learned a lesson from this experience and hope that others can learn from my mistakes. I cant wait to get my buggy boosted again and go play.

Well I'm sure everyone knows it was with the best intentions. And I always thought they had a pretty good reputation.

No, I just try to keep the equipment running so the drivers can plow.
