The wifes new long body build!

[Greaph]

And a little bit more done before Chris brings his in for the cage. Chris we still on for this weekend? Did not hear from ya Sunday so figured ya must have been playing with white parts!

Those of you using aluminum diamond plate for the floorpans: Do you find it makes hot days hotter? I always envisioned it turning the vehicle into a broiler....I know it does with boats

[MURZ]

Irony is it is the cost of being COOL

[Texasbuggys]

outdoor style carpet keeps the feet cool!

[Texasbuggys]

Gettin there, have not worked on it for a while now. Been busy with other projects. 35" tires on rear and 33" tires on front, all stock suspension parts on this long body project sitting on a pre-runer look Texasbuggys Chassis. Stay tuned for the mid travel red long body buggy of Mikes that the parts have stacked up and waiting on the last piece of the puzzle so it can get rocking and rolling!!!

[tdavis]

hey Bobby its a buggy weekend,you need to stop and check things out, i'll try and get some pics out of the progress soon (got to buy a new camera).

[Bryan Porter]

Hey Bobby how is it going are you getting any work done on the wifes buggy let us know .

[Texasbuggys]

No, working on Mikes chassis. It will get done one day! Going to have a last minute buggy building bbq!! LOL

[Texasbuggys]

Back on this one

[Texasbuggys]

Nerf bars are next along with the cage! Something a little different on this cage.

[Bill K]

Now that looks like a car that "Miss Bling" is going to look great in.

[Ken]

sparkly..... you keeping those big off road wheels? I likes those...

[Texasbuggys]

Yep, go big!

[Texasbuggys]

Little more work today. Wanted to do something a little different, make a long body look shorter with some cage treatment, allow for some big tall 6'3" boys in the back seat area, make the overheads easy to get into from front or back. Still have some other tricks that I think will pull it off. Rear tires are 35" tall and fronts 33" tall.

[Bill K]

I love the "look" you are achieving. When's this beauty going to be on the road?

[Texasbuggys]

LOL, good one Bill! I am optimistic, it will be done one day!

[Bryan Porter]

Want to bet a Bottle of wine???????

[Texasbuggys]

Only if we can share it Bryan!!

[Bryan Porter]

Thats a deal but you need to get it done before you start another thats the trick I learned.

[Texasbuggys]

LOL, that seems to be a sickness I have going on! You can relate!

[Texasbuggys]

Little work today before I start another cage. Going to add the nerf bars I bent up, aluminum roof panels and the front cage rise gives me the perfect spot for the big old wide mirror! Have to give credit for the wide mirror ideal to Ken, after driving his rail, I said, gotta have something like that!

[Texasbuggys]

Little more work, stinger hoop protecting the lights and few more down tubes, front plate tabs and stick a fork in this end. Looks pretty good with the actual buggy headlights on it. Wanted some bigger bright lights up front on this one. Not sure if I will add aluminum front skid plate on it yet.

[Aquabuggy]

It's lookin good!

[Fred]

That paintjob looks fantastic,maybe a prize winner @ Salado

[Texasbuggys]

Pipes, carbs and linkage installed. Start it soon. Then the tear down begins. Tired of looking at them yellow tail light housings, they will look much better in silver powder coat

[Ken]

Looks great... I sure hope we get to see this at the Blast?

[Texasbuggys]

Not sure if we will make it up this time. I have a cage I am working on and will try to knock out this weekend. Customers first. But next month! River Run in your stomping ground!

[Bill K]

It won't be the same without you guys. You'll be missed.

[Texasbuggys]

Thanks Bill just gotta see where I get with it.

[Ken]

Echo what Bill said. Sorry will miss you and your family this time Bobby.

[Bryan Porter]

Is her car going to be done for the classic this year or next ?????

[Texasbuggys]

We are not going to make it. Work has kept me very busy, an a new 11billion dollar expansion has plans for me for the next two-three years. Economy in our area is not showing any signs of slowing down. We are already meeting for a follow up expansion even bigger.

[BrianB]

Well its been over a year. Is it on the road yet? the Blast is coming up soon.

[Texasbuggys]

Hey boys and girls! I am still alive! Now that Chris W has his buggy back and my other bud Troy and the other Troy have their buggies all ready to rumble I am going to get back to my three. But first the second hot rod gets done and then it's buggy on! Chris Kolek still have a short body!

[Bill K]

Glad to have you back It's been a long time.
