I bought the cobra frame several years ago and then built a house and put the buggy on hold for about three years. I restarted working on the buggy and took it to kidds customs and howard and i cut off the front end and rebuilt the front end and the A-Arms and then took it to larrys vws ans he put on the ball joints and shocks, limit straps,etc. Howard, his brother matthew and myself finished the rest, building the trailing arms, top,etc. I took it to RT Coatings in knoxville,tn and got it home and started putting it back together and after all these years im almost there.ImageImageImagehttp://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k639/boone7618/DSCN0883.jpg[/img]ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage[img][IMG]http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k639/boone7618/DSCN0921.jpg[/img]http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k639/boone7618/DSCN0922.jpg[/IMG]ImageImageImage

the design came from larrys vws in harriman tn, we bought the material bent and put it together and made the arms and had larry weld on the spindles and finish welding the fron end.
