Mike, hows this going?

Well I havent been doing much. Ive been doing a lot of sidework so I can buy parts. I did dig back in yesterday though. I was going to save the windshield but I cracked it while cutting part of the firewall and decided it would go too. I think it will be for the best as I know I can build it to be a safer machine without it. I am freakin out a little cause I dont want to loose the tracker look and I think the windshield is a big part of that.

Here is its current state. Sorry for the crappy camera phone pics but I need to buy batterys for the digital.

Here is one of the windshild options Im leaning twards.

The other I am consindering is to make the roll bar look like a tracker windshild frame and bend some lexan around the front.

I like the way you've kept the tracker look.  At a glance you know what it is.  I hope you can keep that.

Ugh... Think about the rain, mud, and snow that would get on that design of roof and then would trickle down right down the center and then, if your moving, spray you in the face and, if your going slow, drip in your lap. My advice, don' t have a drip channel right down the center of your roof leading to the front of the vehicle. YMMV

Looking good Mike.  Hey, when you get this project buttoned up bring it out here to Idaho and try it out on the St. Anthony Sand Dunes.  We had a good time out there this past weekend. Check out my thread; video included.

I did some thinkin about the rain and such. I decided to make the windshield flat so I can slide a piece of lexan in when the weather is poor. I am also making a runoff for the new cowl to keep me dry.

Here is what I did today. Got the top bent and welded up and got the rear coilover hoops welded in with some added triangulation.

Mike

There you go... That is looking dandy.

MIke,
Is that the seats you told me about? Send me  a link PLEASE

Pretty Nice Mike. If that engine comes back any further, you'll be able to adjust the timing and give it a tune up while your wheelin'! 

How's the ride coming along anything new

I havent touched it.  I work at a service shop. Snow and very cold temps have me working really long hours. As soon as christmas is over Im going to dig in head first. It has to be ready to wheel by the first weekend in Febuary. This is actually what my face looks like right now!--->

  Hey Mike, are there any actual Tracker parts left in that rig, besides the motor, tranny and tcase? I'd think by now even the frame has been sectioned so many times not too much of the original is left of that either! Awesome.

Not a lot left of the original. The tailgate, grille, taillights, engine, trans, tcase, driveshafts, Rear diff (now the front diff) and wireing harness are from the original vehicle. None of the original frame is there anymore.

Somewhere it needs a modified GEO emblem. Sort of like a Nascar " stocker."
