They only z-d the frame to eliminate the need of a dropped axle. The speed blister is ugly and could be eliminated by widening the body, for the price they charged they should have done this. also notice the diamond tread floor cushion from lowes used as interior panels and the boat seats bought at the local marine shop.
I do like it but they should have passed the savings on, just seems greedy to me is all, as for the look in a whole, well i still like it there are just some things i would change and the price would be the biggest thing. The same things might be said about mine as well.Exactly.
Didn't need to hit the aftermarket for a dropped axle etc...didn't need to go to the effort of widening a body and potentially having the proportions off.
They made things work with simplicity and easy parts sourcing in mind for both themselves in construction and the home builder in finishing.
The admittedly funky Zee even allows for the Vdub steering box to be mounted outside the bucket with a great column angle to increase what little available foot room there is!
As for the stuff from Lowes, thats just personal choice for the guy who buys the kit really. You can glam it up or slum it down! Hahaha
Totally personal opinion on my part but I can see a functional brilliance to the whole thing.
I LOVE all buckets...but this thing for all its oddities and quirks just somehow grabs me.
Now...thats NOT to say I might not like your version even more...and the price for their kit is a bit inflated or so it seems!!!
Surprisingly the lexan in my area costs more then laminated glass.Lexan gotta go.......Don't like that!
Actually, from what I could read there, (a bit confusing for sure) its $4000.00 for the chassis/body/front axle etc and an additional $5000.00 for the quickchange and some other rear stuff.Take a look at what you get with a Speedway TRIBUTE T for 5k (that's with a Winters quick change) and tell me who offers the better value.

Problem with the Tribute T is it has been unavailable for over a year, every time I go to the Speedway website, the kit is backordered. Doesn't matter how cool it is or how much of a good deal it is if you can't buy one.You are apparently right, it's 5k for the QC option. They sell a Curry 9" for $900 with the standard kit and an extra 1k for the rear end pieces, it's still less than half of the NEHR kit.
