question for newbie

[Dune-Buggy-Archives]

[QUOTE="Reverb"]Are those Berrien side panels? I was thinking or ordering a pair, to have painted the same time as the body. I just worry that paint won`t hold up under there.[/QUOTE] Yes, these are the flat side panels made by Berrien Buggy. When a buggy is not a manx or close copy the bubble side pods will not fit. The flat panels can be trimmed to fit the body. My understanding us to make sure the panels are prepped and use a good poly primer that will bond good to your paint system chosen and to the poly in the panels. I am not a fiberglass expert though, just a magazine nutthat went overboard on buggy ads and brochures. If you interested in some I can reccomend a local dealer or help you out. John

John[/QUOTE] According to Berrien when I called them today, is they don`t have a local dealer in Arizona, and I`d need to have them shipped from Michigan.
