Hello Everyone,

I have finally started posting a few posts and I thought it was time to introduce myself. My name is Dan (the kids came up with MickeyMouse) and I have been working on my rail for the past year and I am still not finished but I am close.

Many, Many thanks to everyone on the site. I have been reading the website religiously for the past year and I have learned a lot. Unfortunately, sometimes I learn somethingnew just after I made the mistake.

Anyway, here are some pics of the buggy. I have finished the basics and now I need to beef it up for trail riding.

Hope to see you on the trails soon
Dan

Yep, it is going to be street legal. I do not plan to do a lot of street driving but it will make it nice to get from Trail to Trail. All I have left is to pass emissions.

Hey Johnny - Yep, that is the frame you and your buddies helped me load on my trailer. It has taken me awhile to finish.

I am looking for somewhere to break it in, do you guys have any places to ride?

Thanks for all of the support
Dan

Hey Dan, it's looking good.

We are going up to Helen the 9th 10th and 11th of May for the Athens VW Club poker run. While we are there going to try to get to Beasly Knob in Blairsville to see what it is like.
