It is not a Manx. It is debatable if it is a remake. It is not a remake of the Manx Body, but it is a remake of Bruce Myers Manx idea, (FG body, separate hood, shortened pan).
This body is a Dune Runner Mini Mercedes. It can be found on the Dune Buggy Archives at
http://www.dunebuggyarchives.com/decision-tree/BuggyId/?pointId-1=on&pointId-11=on
Please take off the flip flops and put on some shoes before the sharp metal cuts your foot.

The car I built in two mounths so I could have something to drive for thanks giving. I don’t think would have been finished with out her pushing me to finish. She loves going on rides. If we are camping and she hears me start the motor she comes running for shot gun. |
