Pretty sure this post will go down in Spidertrax Blog history as the shortest & quickest post yet.  The clock is ticking with plenty to finish up, so we will keep today’s entry down to a minimum.  Enjoy the very quick 33 second video taken today at 3:30 pm MST.  As far as the schedule of things to come, we are wrapping up the body panels right now and will then move onto fabricating the engine skid plate, arms for the rear sway bar, shifters for the t-case, and finally head rests.  Our goal is to have everything ready by this Wednesday the 11th.  At which point, Tracy will take the Rock Bug back to AZ to finish the last bit of wiring as well as dyno the Scat V4.  Be sure to check back tomorrow as the body panels should be wrapped up by then.

After a quick breakfast at the local Crane Hollow Cafe, we’re back hanging again with the Rock Bug. Today’s focus will be tying up the last bit of odds and ends with the chassis so work can begin on body panels.  By tonight, we should have most if not all of the skins done on the Rock Bug.  Enjoy the quick video and picture set taken this morning around 11:30 am MST.  We’ll see you again tomorrow and until then, enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Ready for more rapid fire updates of the Rock Bug?  It is now early afternoon on a fairly sunny Colorado Saturday (1:53 pm MST to be more accurate) as final assembly work continues on the Rock Bug.  The front bumper/light bar is now finished, even more plumbing is routed (will it ever end???), brakes are installed, the rear sway bar & end couplings are in place, and the rear lower tubes for the body panels are just getting tacked.  Enjoy the video and pictures we took just minutes ago and we’ll see you back here again real soon.

Here is another rapid fire video as assembly continues on the Rock Bug.  We are finishing up the install of our all new concept lightweight spindle & hubs together with our all new gun drilled 35 spline 300M axle shafts. Check out the progress pictures (taken yesterday afternoon) and video (taken first thing this morning) below as we wrap up the last of the spindle and hub assembly.  Be sure to keep checking in as more updates are on the way!

Time is quickly running out, so here is yet another rapid fire update.  There is so much going on and so much to talk about, we will have to come back and re-highlight some of the concepts being shown off here, like the ultra light sway bar and mechanical lock for the rear hydraulic ram.  Keep checking in as more updates (and eventually detailed descriptions) are on the way.
