When building a buggy, please try and pay a little bit more attention to detail.

Oh, and clean up that shop!

I saw those in the gallery last night and it had me green with envy. Makes me want to cut out perfectly good floor pans and weld in some brand new ones just to keep up. Nah..

Damn! Next time somebody says my Manx is 'too pretty,' I'm showing them that one. Those Bus taillights fit the body nicely.

Unreal. LOL He's even got the roll-around for the pan up on stands.

I wanna know how he shortened those pans without so much as a warp or weld seam???

It almost doesn't look real.

With a pan that clean and paint that smooth and nice,, it would never hit the dirt if I owned it. can you say show manx.....very nice. that is top of the line sh#t.

Glad you like the pans . Real nice to get your feed back .They were butt welded with a tig welder . The fit before welding was so close that very little weld rod was needed , rather just fusing the seam together Any warpage was then hammered out with a hammer and wood backing block to prevent oil canning the metal.

Wish I could hve done it with a 3D computer graphics program - probably would have been a lot easier . Not sure if it would have been as rewarding though .

I agree with every word except 'Manx.' :wink:

Tominator - Those pictures of your über-clean buggy are awesome to boot.
