Wow that's long! That things going to rock. Nice job Bart
Another buggy project
- Thread starter Bart
- Start date
wow!, I cant believe how fast you got that rolling. Im jealous, that thing is lookin sweet. your gear box idea looks like it worked perfect. the box looks like it was made for the buggy. 112" thats a great wheelbase. I think youl love it.
makes me want to go spend some more time in the garage, I just cant put the sled away yet.

Looking good Bart, Kyle is doing some amazing work... wish I could weld like that! Is the fab work just about done? What's next, plumbing?
Yep, I bring it home this weekend and begine plumbing (fuel, brakes, tranny, cooling) and wiring. I have to mount a few things like the seats and stuff too. Also going to take the time mount a removeable windshield, removable fenders, and wire turn signals, brake lights, wipers, horn etc, in hopes of getting it licensed as a 53. Pipe dream maybe, but I've got to try.

Yowzers, that's miserable. :sick: That would explain why we never ran into you then. We thought you might just be hiding from us.
Ahh, thought you went back down
Just an update
Filled up the air shocks last night and loaded my baby up for its first trailer ride. She's home sitting my garage as of 9:00 last night. Lots to do, but now the ball is my court. Taking the hood and grill into my auto body classes tonight and tomorrow night. As for the buggy, I think I'll start the engine wiring this weekend. Depending on how that goes I think I'll lay out the chassis wiring after that. List of things to do but not in order by any means.
Body work on hood, grill, cowl and windshield
Cut and fab tailgate to fit rear opening
fit removable windshield
reverse manual valve body in trans
engine wiring
chassis wiring
plumb cooling
plumb steering
plumb brakes
bump stop front end
Detroit in rear axle (before I even think of moving again)
fab firewall
fab floors
mount seats
mount tool box and stereo speakers
mount trans shifter
mount t-case shifters
fab dash
fab center console
fab side panels
mount dash and gauges
lots more stuff that I'm missing
Take back to Kyles for final chassis stuff that I couldn't do or am forgetting.
Bring home, strip down and paint chassis
paint hood, grill, cowl, windshield, tail gate, and side panels
All the little stuff I'm forgetting.
I'm excited.:greg:
