Picked this up yesterday at a show. Ive never seen one and couldnt pass it up. The lines reminded of old 60s customs so I bought it. If anyone has any imsight as to the maker that would be great. Going to put it together this winter I think.

He'll ya! Cool

No idea what it is -- but a unique and interesting interpretation of a Manx style buggy. I love that upper hood / dash combination panel. I've never seen the body split there, between dash and hood. It seems to be a good place to put 2 parts together. The turn signal location Is new to me, and wow that is different. Is there a lower panel for the front that goes below the headlights and hood center? Have you figured out what the original taillights where?

I hope to see that as a finished buggy at a VW show someday. It's SO different and very cool. Cool
