Well probably so but a high quality one. A rarity and you should be proud to have it! ;D ;D ;D

Why not? You want her to lose her daddy early?

Have a 2-3 good hrs and only problem is no recharging of battery.  Think I have a wire from rectifier not going back to battery, little more wiring diagram studying will sort it out.

Made a hood scoop that slants up and wraps over instrument cluster that I want to make look seamless with the hood.  Should I use just bondo, or go with fiberglass.  Its aluminum, and while I have some fiberglass'n skills history, my bondo work looks better.  I was more concerned with the flexing cracking the bondo.

lookin' good! Sorry but at this point I'm not jumping into the bondo vs FG debate. Let's see what others think.

Cant believe it, no opinions ???.  Going to go all politicall and try something right down the middle.  Bondo-glass, basicaly bondo with fiberglass strands.  Daughter still wants most of the buggy "lime green", not an easy find in rattle can.  But thats what its gonna be, she's the BOSS> ;D

I'd forget the bondo or glass.  maybe cut the hood, stick the scoop up from the bottom and do a nice job keeping all the rivets in a straight line.  You would have a nice clean seam, and if you didn't like that, you could always calk it with some seam sealer before paint.

Thanks Boost for backing the wife's opinion.   :P  Gonna study it on Sunday, I found some bad ass carbon fiber pin stripe stuff to line the edges of panels with.  No time on Sat, as I am moving my mom, all day process, volunteers??? ;D

OK,fine,here's my opinion. Finish that hood out with bondo.  Use mold release wax and wax the crap out of it. Four coats minimum.Lay on 2 layers 1.5 oz mat or 4 layers 3/4 oz mat as smoothly as possible.Sand off all big imperfections and then skim with bondo. Sand to perfection. Pull off of aluminum pattern. Paint. Part will be approx 1/8" thick if done properly.

Carl,
Just showing up with a buggy to LS is a good thing...I doubt that it will get critiqued...If I bring a buggy at all...We'll have to see what the doc's say...it'll be my 750...with no paint...and prolly a gas can bungeed on somewhere ;D
Boost had a good point with thru the hood and keep the lines straight...IMO that gives it the mean...no frills look...I like that more than the seamless TAR BABY LOOK...
Being you use it in the woods as well...well I'd stay away from bondo...I'd prolly stay away from fiberglass as well just for the fact that trees like to jump out in front of me at speed :o

Buggy looks good.....I have a question, "Where did you get the replacement springs from for the front shocks?"
