I wouldn't call this my best picture as I just snapped it quick before the sun went down but I think it is a bit unusual...
Anyone for a trip to the lake? I'm looking for a crew! |

Getting ready to head to the desert for a week-end of fun. Note the Coleman stove, the tent, and 5 gallon water jug on the roof, spare tire, ice chest and 5 gallon gas can inside. Oh yeah, the pack of Marlboros on the front fender.
Then let's have fun for the entire week-end and hope nothing breaks so we can drive it 200 miles back home. We all do some pretty crazy things in our early 20's!
Traded for this Meyer's Manx after returning from 14 months in Viet Nam. It was my daily driver for six years and the most fun car I ever had.
Just completed my bucket list project with this one. This one is fun to drive too.

This is my buggies first trip out of the garage in over thirty years. These were taken a couple years ago when I moved it to my shop to work on it. It has since been moved to my new shop and the restoration has begun.
I have no clue what the body is. It is on a 1968 chassis with a stock 1500 in it.
By the way you guys have some really cool buggies! I hope mine comes out as nice as yours are.
