all i know is that it was his first buggy he was gonna try to get into them cause we al have them but ended up not having enough time with work so he sold it i know it came from pellcity and when he got it the motor had alot of water in it bt drained it and chainged oil and he took it out a few times he was not a climber but i looked it over i think it will do good with a good motor and trans it has good arms and all and i thought it was a good looking buggy put that motor and trans in and i think you should have a good climbing buggy. noone new much about the motor it came with and he did not know anything about buggies he went off what the guy he got it from said and was told it was in the 2300's but i dont know |

I'm pretty sure that buggy belonged to Dean Nichols originally. I t had a 2276 on it. The only thing that kept it from climbing very well was the swampers on the back. He tried cut buckshots and it did real well. |

We always made the diagonal brace running from the tree bar up to the top side rail removable so we could notch the bottom of the body around the tree bar and just drill a hole thru the body and bolt the diagonal brace in. I can explain in more detail if you're interested in going this route. |

Jessie this buggy in these picture is a buggy I built for Dean Nichols. He and I rode together for years out at the tunnel. I built all of the front and rear suspension for this project. It is good to see my fab work still around, this buggy frame was bought at Robert Shadricks Sand S buggies and built in Odenville where the Jacks is now. it has seen its share of hills and hollers from Tellico to Blairsville to Jemison and back to the Tunnel |

Riding buggies is like doing drugs to me. I am still in Rehab. When I was a little kid I remember riding those trails in Leeds with my Dad, That is old Marketa strip pits and down on the Cahaba river |
