Very nice buggy. I like the pic with the dark clouds in the background.

BTW, I recognize the next pic. We were following JayManx down a riverbed down around the Salton Sea when suddenly his buggy was 4' in the air! As we were right behind him, we hit the same hole and caught some air. After we landed, we didn't fair as well as Jay. We cracked the aux oil sump on the bottom of the motor and it bled out just as we pulled into the Pumpkin Patch. Everyone then gathered around as we removed the oil sump (you can't see me under the other side of the buggy, just dripping with oil) and put the old oil plate back on the bottom of the motor, added some oil, and off we went, finishing out the rest of the day without a problem. Fun times!

Really nice buggy. Just wait until you're done with it. In the second picture I see Jimbo and the B&W. Good memories...

Don't forget the rollbar.

Speaking of roll bar... I have one now but it's only bolted to the body. I plan to have the buggy repainted next month because the job I got last year has too much orange peel. At that time I'd like to have a bar built that can hold a seatbelt shoulder harness and a fiberglass roof. How high does the roll bar need to be for the roof to look right?
