Looks great man. Some tricky tube bending on those top main bars. It was hard for me to get two exactly the same for the buggy I built. You probably have a few more notches under your belt than I do though! :)

Bill, Go to the June Buggy of the Month. There are a few good shots of it there. Thats what I like about the BOTM, it gives a lot of detail that others can get ideals for the own projects.

That sure looks like a fun build. I think you may be the first to have 2 cars in BOTM.

:lol: I'll have a price when I'm done! :lol: I was actually thinking about building another one either for myself, or to sell. So far, I like it more than my racecar, but I'm sure there will be some bugs to work out. :mrgreen:
