Reply to "Dune Buggy Happenings"

Dune Buggy updates..... The red buggy in the previous post is a "Joe Potty Sportster" made in Virginia  Circa 1965. It is under contract with a guy from Washington state for a full build. This body is going onto a 1974, four wheel disc brake IRS chassis that I have just finished. The buggy is being painted Sapphire blue medium size old school square metallic. Fresh 1641 with a 110 cam 034 heads but will run a single 34PICT carb.

In the wings is a very early but tired Meyers Manx One body with a low number build tag that I chased down in Wisconsin. The value on these restored early Meyer's is way out there ( check BAT past sales ) I could have bought two new fiberglass bodies for what I shelled out for this one but it will have a fantastic return when completed.    The body will go onto the chassis that came with the "Sportster" because that chassis is a 1956 and will be a better marriage with the 1968 Meyers body.

Both buggy engines and transmissions are out being rebuilt.......... If  there is a enough interest I'll start a new thread on the Sportster Buggy build as currently I just did some welding and sprayed bed liner on that bare chassis today.
