I'm a tube bender at Spirit Aerosystems in Wichita. (36 years) and I have had a buggy on/off since the late 70's. I know and run with a few of the guys on this site.
I have been off of the sand for a few years. Right now I'm in the prosess of rebuilding my rail after a new powder coat job. I have a new motor ready for it setting on a engine stand.
My car is an old Sand Sprite 6 that cut up and modifided with the help from a few friends. My wife does all of my welding on it. :) With a little more time and money I'll have it back out on the sand.
I have last weeks lotto numbers if that will help....

I might come down and beg a ride off of someone so I can see what I have been missing.
Now that deer season is over with I have been working on my car. I'm taking my time and trying to build it the best I can but I'm also *fofoing it up and trying to make it look good. I'm about finished with the front end. When I took it apart about every bolt was a little bent so I'm using shoulder bolts on all of the moving suspension locations. Thats been a slow process.
*Fofoing, The act of fofoing or to fofo. Polish and paint every nut and bolt on a dune buggy to make it look good when it broke down.

It WAS freaky alright! I've never seen a car try to do a lawn dart on flat ground. :m

i was in one that tried to go under a dune.
-
Long day in the shop but I got a lot done on my car. It's starting to look like a dune buggy again.

Come on down for a day or two Dave. There are always open seats.
-
Car looks like loads fun.
-
Man, I haven't seen that car for about 5 years. What the hey is taking you so long? :m
And like the others said, always empty seats
-
I could go on and on about whats taking so long but I think I have the wind to back now and it's coming along. The more I get done the more I want to get done.
I do miss the sand and camp outs and of course the homemade ice cream.
-
Two sources of ice cream nowadays. Glenns and Carls.
-
Glenn's Homemade ice cream......

We now have Glenn AND Carls homemade ice cream. You will want to have a big serving of each. Both are top shelf!
-
Thanks Fabr. Been experimenting with some new techniques and flavors.
