I joined about 2 years ago, and in that time I've mostly just read, looked at pictures and videos and generally just learned a lot about the east coasts version of a sand rail. Ive got to say I'm very impressed with the way these buggies perform. Some of the out of the box thinking some of you guys come up with like the chain drive buggies are truly incredible.
I have a couple different bugggies, a 59 glitterbug, and the one shown here. This buggy started life as your typical sand rail with the desert bracing kit and fiberglass body kit. In the 13 years ive owned it, its gone through a lot of little changes and its mostly a trail buggy now and almost never goes in the sand any more. Currently I'm in the process of making it street legal. Its a Chenowth 2rl chassis built some time in the 80's and Im only the second owner of it. The transmission is a 68 swing axle which works ok for where I go with it. I do have most of the parts to convert to Irs some day, but for now it'll stay swing axle. The engine is a 1600 and I'm running with a progressive which works great for what I do. Its no powerhouse, but I built it mostly for long distance desert /mointain travel, and its never let me down.
