S&N Fab's King Of The Hammers Build-Up

February 11, 2009: With just over 2 weeks left before they have to be at the starting line of the 2009 King of the Hammers race, all hands have been on deck at S&N Fab to get the new race car ready. King of the Hammers is a multi-discipline event that requires a car to be a desert racer and rock crawler all in one. With this in mind S&N Fab have been working feverishly to transform their design philosophy into a fully-functioning vehicle. The starting point is an existing S&N "Bravo" chassis that they are re-working with new cage sections, suspension design, and room for a bigger motor.
