This months HOT VW magazine had buggies on the cover!!! "BEACH BUGGIES" It also has a tech section discussing wiring your buggy. www.hotvws.com

any chance of a PDF of the wiring article? not sure I can get a copy here

Nice piece in Ultra VW's Paul...

stop teasing me, I'm having to wait till the book store gets it in.

Seems that most of my usual places have stopped carrying it. Haven't seen a copy for two months now. Wonder if that means anything...

Finally they have the whole APRIL issue full of FDB's. It's been a couple of years that they devoted so many pages to our cause.. Congratulations to Tom and Kathleen, making it to the big time..Great article on their pair of "Bruce's creations".

Leter tonight I will scan the pages and post them up. If thats ok. BTW Toms' buggies look SSSSSOOOSWWWEEETTTTTT!!!

I had the wife pick up the issue. I noticed Nat Gohl's buggy is in there too. Any coincidence that both buggies were BOTM at one time?

Mvovr & jyboyton - Thanks! Kathleen's Manxter is really Kathleen's Manxter. Her name is on the title, not mine. She paid the bills to build it and maintain it. I did most of the building, but, she picked the combination of parts & colors. It was the best "father & son" project I have been involved with. Thanks again, Tom

I like all my wiring hidden and my carpeting smooth (no wires under it). It seems to me there was a lack of planning as the So-Cal buggy was being built and they may have forgot to provide a way to run the wiring from the front of the buggy to the back. :2cents:

exactly jerry. mine was done that way and it's bothered me. it was even painted over when the body was painted! and the ironic thing is- i do have a tube glassed in for that under the lip just for that purpose i would guess. (why else would there be a tube, hollow on both end starting by the firewall and ending behind the rear seat area) it will be utilized this time around though!
