Ryan asked me to post these photos because He was not sure how!

This is Ryan's Buggy body. The P.O. really did a number with Bondo on it he said.

The P.O. Had the neck of the Gas Tank sticking out from the side and Ryan did not like it so away it goes!

Image
This is his chassis and the Roll-Bar (Show-Bar). I have seen it in person and it looks nice! Look at the other Hot Rod his Dad built!

I wonder if Ryan knows how lucky he is? I hope my girls find a way to help out with my Buggy! Way to go RYAN & Squirt! I miss talking to you everyday Ryan!!!
Get out there and enjoy your Dune Buggy! www.savethetexasdunebuggy.com faron@savethetexasdunebuggy.com

Hey Ryan, Looks like you have swing axle spring plates on a late irs pan.
If you plan to run a swing axle trans in that pan your gonna need one of these.

yes it was a irs pan david o built for me and changed it to swing axle for straight line strength. i changed the nose cone to a 3 bolt and it will mount to it just fine but thanks for seeing it and providing the link. i am so motivated right now working and glassing everyday to get body ready while i am motivated to do it. it sat for almost three years just as you see it nothing happening. then my daughter takes an interest in it and whamo dad is on his game fixing it up show car nice. you know that commercial 25 dollars for dinner,15 dollars for starbucks cofee, building a dream with your daughter ..... priceless. thanks for all the kind words faron i miss you guys too. just not job hassles. thanks for posting my pics, you'll have to tell me how you did it cause i have more as things progress. and i replace all the bad repairs p.o. did before me.
