You know.......
That bad boy is begging for a set of RSR finish Fuchs to complete the look! A set of 7 and 8's would put the icing on the cake.

The chrome wheels would look OK on a run of the mill buggy, but with your all-out build philosophy on this unusual buggy, well... not so much.

Do it! Evil or Very Mad

Nice buggy! i really like the detail around the gas filler.

Have you painted other cars with the plastic dip material and how wellmdoes it hold up?

I was not sure what alcantra leather was so I looked it up. Below is a brief description for those curious.


The Benefits of Trimming Cars in Alcantara
Published by Nadeem Muaddi on January 28th, 2014
Auto Upholstery - The Hog Ring - Alcantara

The Detroit News recently published an article highlighting the benefits of trimming vehicles in Alcantara as opposed to leather. The piece doesn’t shed a lot of new light on the fabric — especially for auto trimmers already familiar with it. However, it does provide a bit of interesting background on where Alcantara comes from, and why car owners should consider requesting it.


Here’s an excerpt from the article explaining Alcantara‘s Japanese-Italian roots and some of its benefits:

Alcantara feels a lot like suede, but it is not made from leather. Nor is it a woven fabric, said Andrea Boragno, president and chief executive of Alcantara S.p.A., the Italian company that manufactures the product through proprietary technology. […]

Alcantara was created in the early 1970s by Miyoshi Okamoto, a Japanese scientist working for Toray, a chemical company. Toray and Italy’s ENI Group jointly launched the Alcantara brand, which has been promoted as an alternative to leather.

Boragno said the material, a “composite textile,” costs about the same as leather, but is more breathable, and lighter, just as functionally durable, easy to maintain and clean, can be produced in any color, can be embossed with various designs, and is produced by a carbon-neutral manufacturing process as the only place it is produced, in Terni, Italy.

Boragno is particularly pleased that Alcantara became Italy’s first carbon-neutral manufacturer. [more]

For a more detailed — and slightly more dramatic — history and description of Alcantara, see the manufacturer’s website, which also lists where you can buy it

Outstanding work!!!! But then, Germans almost always do great work.
I like the wheels fine. Granted, I like big fat tires with shiny wide wheels but we are allowed.
I did not think you could even have a buggy on the street over there. My friend Klaus, who lives in Selb, tells me you guys are VERY restricted on what you can do to cars. He was here and I took him to a Hot Rod show and he said, "I can not believe!!!" Smile

Excellent looking buggy!!! Congrats!!!!

It's all about the details, and this build has them in spades. Love the non-traditional exhaust treatment, the fuel fill and the front buckets. Super clean and uncluttered motor is an inspiration.
