Got tired of building Street buggies, some of you may have seen the Phoenix buggy or my 68 Jeffries Kyote. I Last winter I decided to do something different.

I did the base and designed the paint scheme. My neighbor Yves Genesse turned my ideas into reality. He is very quickly becomming as good if not better than Mike Lavallee, the guy that Foose uses for true fire. The side view I have posted shows the bad side. More detail on the other side. I will post another pic tonight.
Later
Dan

Looks pretty cool.
What company did you purchase the top from? What wheels are on it?

If I ever get a second Thing, I'm doing my windows like that too. Who was it that put up a page about doing theirs? I remember reading it, and should have saved it.
