Well we've been scratching our heads a lot this week trying to figure out the rear shock mounts for the fun buggy.

      


      For some reason we can't just make a normal tube with some tabs welded on, but rather we're dead set on a complicated but extremely cool looking system of bent, flared, and welded sheet metal to spread the load of the shocks across a larger area of the chassis.  Here are three different designs we looked at.  Next time we'll show you what we went with, and how we built it.
