First thing I want to say, thank you for your honesty. As for the front bumper, I will be adding a piece of Diamond plate to fill on the area between the side posts. In hopes that it will work as a skid plate. I think I do need to go a little wider, I gotta fill up that area or it will look stupid. ...

I borrowed a wheel and tire from the dealership that I work at. I am going to go with Off-Road tires, but wanted to get opinions. I was thinking of going with something that is not widely used in the Dune Buggy world. I am thinking of using 19 inch wheels with low-profile off road tires in the back,...

I just got it back from having the front & rear bumpers made. It seems to be coming along very SLOW. But I will finish it when I do. Its not to pretty to look at yet, but I keep the faith that it will some day! Please let me know what you think, you will not hurt my feelings! http://i30.photobuc...

WoW That is one awesome buggy! I look forward to more photos soon! Hint Hint Hint

Please update!!! I have not seen anything since 7-21-06. I have had my Buggy at the welder for for a LONGGGGG time, waiting for my custom built front & rear bumper cages to be built. One of those deals...he had a couple of jobs ahead of me, then he got sick. I would be upset if it was not a hobb...

I have 2 single port motors and rather then just toss them out I am thinking about going ahead and and rebuilding one and putting it into my buggy, untill I have saved up and rebuilt a Corvair or a larger VW Motor. Please keep in mind that I am building this by the seat of my pants, and am learning ...

A classic MINI is to much money! I can get a REALLY Nice Baja for $5000. I will only be able to get a crappy little rust bucket Mini for $5000. Plus I am building a Buggy, and I will be able to put the motor from the bug into my buggy when all is said and done.

Well as I have mentioned before, I sold my MINI. I am going to wait for the 2007s to come out before I order another one. Soooo I will be MINI less until March perhaps April. I am thinking about buying a nice little classic bug to get around until then. Its a classic car so it will keep people from ...

Check it out! It finally looks like a "something" as my Kids put it. This is the Wheels & Tires from my donor car, but at least I can wheel it in and out of my garage. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c319/minifaron/th_progress010.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/album...

Every time I come to this site I check this thread in hopes that I might find something new. I know that you have done something to this good looking buggy since March 25TH, now show us. PLEASE! I really like this buggy, and find it inspiring!

Yea I think that mine will be about the same as a motorcycle when I am finished! We all try to make them as safe as we can however, if its on the streets......They are pretty small! I have never rode in one! I am looking forward to it!

Lookin' good but I'm not sure how safe I'd feel with those low body sides. I will feel as safe in this buggy as I would any other buggy. I don't think fiberglass is going to stop much of anything with real force. I hope that did not come off like a know it all, because I am not. I am learning as I ...

This is my project that I have been working on for just about 6 months. Let me know what you think? http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c319/minifaron/th_Body1.jpg [/u] http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c319/minifaron/th_progress002.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c319/minifaron/th_progress003.j...
