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!!!

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

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.

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!

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.

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 :lol:

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.
