being from Dayton you should try and find that band of about 10 or so buggies out there
I Have tried to get them to come around with no luck but they are out there.
Ive seen and met them

I've got a lot more pics of my buggy that I would love to show yall but photobucket will not let me log on. :( Even went to their trouble shooting page and followed their directions.Still nothing :x
So I'll just tell you about it.

Lowered the front, installed bumpers front and rear, and new seats from a late model Freightliner. Sure wished I could share my pics with yall. Oh well, maybe later when figure out what I'm doing wrong. :?

Hey Don, still got them and there free to a good home! :D As long as I dont drive too far. I work at the Valero plant @ 610 and Manchester.
The sizes are 14 x 7 and 14 x 8 with the chevy five lug 5 on 4-3/4.

I went with 16" rims for better tire selection

I agree. That is a great looking buggy. I can't wait to see it in person. My "boss" says she really hopes you can make it also, her and the kids would love to see it to.

Ya Don, thats the same Buggy. Took it appart last September and took it for its first test drive this Fathers day. Now I've got the bug to build another car. All I need is money and the wifes approval ;-)
Thanks for all the kudoos on the Buggy. I cant wait to show it off.
