I just saw you were online ,looking at this topic and hadn't seen any posts. Thought you were out having a ball since you got the buggy running.  8) Wouldn't blame you for that.  bb: Now back to the topic. ;D ;D

Buggy looks good.....I have a question, "Where did you get the replacement springs from for the front shocks?"
.
Springs came from Livewire, Aftershock Motorsports.  Would like to replace the rear ones too, they're still too soft.

Think I'm gonna rivet it bout every 2" and use some type of pin stripe tape along edges.  This Al-clad has that black core that sticks out between the two sheets of aluminum.  But its growing on me. 

No buggy studying, took 30 hrs to get Mom moved.  For a single lady, shes got tons of shit.

Air suction valves, do I need to run them to some kinda little filter, or can I plug them also.  They are one way valve that let fresh air into the exhaust to aid in combustion of unurned fuel.

Raised the roof a little as most buggies arn't built for tall people?  Got the tail/brake lights hooked up too.  Made another set of rear shock mounts to get a stiffer ratio.  Just need it to stop raining so I can try out couple more times.

Digging my buggy back post back from its grave.  Lots of work, but had camera issues.  So heres a taste....






It is the best looking rattl can paint job I have ever seen.   Painted with truck bed liner, then a silver metal flake, then a transparent yellow, then a transparent green.  The silver speck can be seen thru the yellow and green and the truck bed liner is damn near impossible to beat off.  (tried).   

Oh yeah just for those first timers I have 89 tabs.  89 freaking tabs, I have learned to make by hand.
