CHECK THIS OUT!
Built in house by Arcadia Valley Career Tech Center students during the 2021-22 school year in Mr. Clayton Wilson’s welding class. Brand new RZR buggy custom tube chassis. Students were involved in building this from the ground up. During this build students worked on multiple concepts across the curriculum including fabricating, mig and tig welding, blueprints and design, sheet metal work, plasma cutting, and many mechanical concepts along the way.
There are many people that contributed to making this build possible at Arcadia Valley Career Tech. Thanks to the many sponsors beginning with Midwest Sports who gave us a great deal on the UTV, purchased through a grant, that we used to create this chassis. Jonathan Shepherd of Skinny Pedal Fab donated a lower chassis kit for this project, and this kit really speeds up the build process and is custom made for Polaris specs. Justin Pierpoint, owner at ORB, provided the front HD A-arms. Thanks to Bill Frascella from Nitro Racing Products for the billet radius rods and gated shifter. Ryan Snyder of Planet SXS donated the 15” Raceline Ryno Beadlocks. X-Pert Powdercoat’s crew finished off the buggy with the silver vein powder coat and the vinyl wrap.
These businesses and their support in helping to teach our students has been ongoing throughout the process of this build. The off-road community of businesses have continued to be excited about our students’ learning.
Last but definitely not least, these students from Arcadia Valley, Bunker, Iron County C-4, South Iron, Marquand, and Valley school districts, have shown off excellent job skills and performance throughout this entire process.
S. Crase, G. Goverau, J. Haverstick, J. Maxwell, H. Myracle, L. Pauley, M. Thee, E. Tiefenauer, L. Harbison, C. McClure, T. Newhouse, L. Walka, D. Williams III, J. Bland, J. Jones, K. Schmidt, B.
