Looks awesome! I like the beefed up look that it has. You should be very happy with it.

COOL RIDE!!!! How I regret selling my buggy. I loved the way it would get huge amounts of attention, interupt activities, and get lots of shouted comments every time I drove past a school or a local sporting event.

that's a very good looken ride. But what's with the rope on the front bumper?

Gene-C · Post by **Gene-C** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 6:04 am

hi all. someone asked what size lift it has ? 3 '' and the rope is for pulling out jeeps.. never know when you need one. I restored a 43 ford jeep and that is what was put on them. Yes Ford made jeeps. thank you for the great feedback everyone. it is a fun ride..

I love the dash, was it custom made?[/QUOTE] I added the lower part for the stereo. it worked out . I had to cover the old holes that were there for the new gages. I got to learn how to do fiberglass. I hope I don't have to do it any more.. yuck!! I am wanting to build another one already. long travel extra wide. turbo.. lets see that would cost about 35k.. I just got back from New Orleans inspecting homes Man there is tons of money to make there.

Mike here's the info on the caster shims...if you double up on them you would need the longer bolts...would be worth trying a set...I ran two sets of these and last manx buggy was still stable at 120mph

I was wondering about your pedal assy. I used a Neal (CNC) pedal assy, where the clutch and brake are mounted seperately. I see yours are a combined mounting. Who is the manufacturer? Is the brake master cylinder a dual system. My brake pedal actuates two seperate cylinders and takes up a lot of room. I am mounting it on an adjustable slide so I can mount my seats more securely. The room my brake pedal takes up is a problem.
