Hey guys,
Someone here saw our build over on the 'RZRforums' site and thought it would be interesting to share here as well. Not sure what to call it yet; open to suggestions. It's basically just an RZR chassis with an APEX sled engine swap. I designed the body to easily accommodate different track and wheel bases, and we are doing 86" WB and 64" track width for this first one. The drawing shows this and is accurate; the car is scaled perfectly to it...with 27.5" tires. We are stretching an 800 frame 9" (or an XP frame 4.6") in the driver/passenger area for more legroom, as the seats are lowered a little and slid back.
The body, integrated with the RZR frame(s), is what's kind of different here...and a big PITA! ...after that it's really nothing that hasn't already been done. The toughest part was actually designing the body to look 'right' but work on a UTV size/chassis, but still have plenty of headroom to be comfortable. This is done with a bit of 'illusion'...as in...from the side, you only 'see' about 40" of cab height (which is too short) but we actually have about 45" on the inside. Same as my car. Sounds easy enough, but I have a dozen previous renderings that look really bad. Everything is magnified with it being so small.
