Bow Tie Mud Guy : THE EXCEPTION BUILD

Bow Tie Mud Guy Murray wide body build !!
there is a lil history with me and the wide body ,2 years ago i built one into a mud rig and i ended up in the hospital on the first test drive , long story short i said i would never build a murray again but 2 years latter i have this one !!
BUILD PLANS : 12 hp flat head brigs , MST 205 trans axle !! im going to build this rig into my STOCK oval racer for this year's racing season , it will get the front extension finished , the front will be lowered a few inches as well for the rear , 16/6.5/8 inch turf savers all around , custom steering because we all know what junk the original is !! the engine will get a lil work done , un governed , foot pedal , straight pipe exhaust out back , new air filter , all new wiring , tether kill switch , aggressive pulley swap , dash supports to stiffen it up , all new paint and maybe some Nerf bars and body mods !! the final video for this build will be done at a race this summer to show how it does !!

Excellent, cool to see a racer in the mix!

well i got some work done to this rig !! tore out every thing i did not need ,removed stock clutch and built a double pulley clutch , re mounted the rear fenders , dropped in the MST 205 with new pulley , lowered the seat , remounted the dash and and set the steering shaft back in , stretched the front and added a few more bolts to the front end , cut the mount off the front of hood and relocated it and made new frame mounts for hood , flipped the rig over and built the nerf bars and tied them into the frame , flipped it back over and put a set of x tracks on the back for now , built the front and rear bumpers , and the last part i put on was the hood scoop !! this build is moving right along .

That thing looks awesome just like that!! Maybe a pair of matching x-tracs on the front?

Cool and interesting build. I like it.

Looking good

That hood scoop should be interesting!! Excited for this build.

Good luck and best wishes, very happy to see your entry. cheers.

OK I HATE TO DO THIS BUT I HAVE TO PULL THIS BUILD FROM THE COMPETITION DO TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND MY CONTROL !! PLEASE FORGIVE ME BUT THE OTHER BUILDS WILL GO ON !

Aww that's too bad, I was looking forward to this one

Sad to hear it. Good luck on your other projects!

FULL WITHDRAW

@Doug
Tagging you so you know. I will lock the thread for the time being.

Its unfortunate, but things happen. Ive moved your thread into the appropriate forum, so feel free to update it when you can.

Hate to see a project dropped, but I understand. I hope it is a situation where you can pick it up at a later time.

I'm pretty sure I saw a post on sprocket's garage where he SOLD this one.

@Crazy_Carl yes i did sell this build , i had some family stuff come up and needed to get some cash up fast and had 3 rigs to pic from !! the murray lost and went to a new home . it sucks when things like this happen but thats life !!
