Sorry to hear you are suffering a health setback, I think you'll turn the down time into thinking up some awesome new features. I will miss watching your progress..... You got skills. Wink

What the hell, post your ideas. Laughing

Maybe I'll brave the cold in my shop this weekend in your honor, been getting real itchy to advance my multi year project, I have a "drvie it under its own power" milestone set for the early summer. Not too ambitious provided I don't get sidetracked or waylaid by important stuff. Again. Rolling Eyes

I wanna be just like you when i grows up. I know how you hurt you're shoulder and it was not the repetitive stress of sanding or laying down fiber glass.But it was a repetitive motion. HAHAHA Talk to you soon

Hopster wheel 15 X 6 front and 17 X 8 rear.

It will be lower when engine is installed.

This is a 4-3/4 back space just makes it

I see the off set worked out after all. Glad you did not have to send them back. Did you have Matt put them on for ya HaHa.
Talk to you soon

My shoulder is getting better still can't lift things. Yes my son Matt did help lift them, I only put the lugs on.
What do you all think of them. Please be honest I am not too shure of them myself.
I need to get a 4" narrowed beam and smaller tires on the front. If any body has a narrowed beam on there buggy please let me know how it worked out.

Very Nice man!!! I'm VERY Jealous! My buggy isn't even close to where yours is. Man I'd love to drive my Buggy this year, but, that's not going to happen. Crying or Very sad

Just recieved my 4" narrowed beam today from king-tuk here on the samba. This beam is well built welds look great, If you are debating on who to go with I would have to say Matt (king-tuk).Look him up in the classifieds.
The tubes are fully welded and clean.

love the look of the adjusters

can't wait to install this thing and suck the wheels under the fenders.

GREAT work so far dude... my dad is a seasoned fiberglass man, and he was impressed as well... as for the rims, I think they look dope, definitely... and honestly, the ride height looks good too... if anything, I'd roll air shocks so you could roll it comfortably and then weed it for showin' off...

4" narrowed beam did the trick. Put the wheels under the fenders Very Happy
