being from Dayton you should try and find that band of about 10 or so buggies out there
I Have tried to get them to come around with no luck but they are out there.
Ive seen and met them

by **KIM-P** » 15 Fri Aug, 2008 5:40 pm

I've not seen any other buggys out here but mine
But if I do I'll talk to them

by **blackthree4me** » 15 Fri Aug, 2008 9:35 pm

look around the crosby area most from around that way but still should see them around dayton as well
I would think
cant waite to hook up but you are still a pretty good clip from us

by **KIM-P** » 05 Wed Nov, 2008 8:42 pm

I've got a lot more pics of my buggy that I would love to show yall but photobucket will not let me log on.

Even went to their trouble shooting page and followed their directions.Still nothing

So I'll just tell you about it.

Lowered the front, installed bumpers front and rear, and new seats from a late model Freightliner. Sure wished I could share my pics with yall. Oh well, maybe later when figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Hey Kim, what did you do with those slot wheels? I could give them a good home

.

by **KIM-P** » 06 Thu Nov, 2008 8:29 pm

Hey Don, still got them and there free to a good home!

As long as I dont drive too far. I work at the Valero plant @ 610 and Manchester.
The sizes are 14 x 7 and 14 x 8 with the chevy five lug 5 on 4-3/4.

I went with 16" rims for better tire selection

very nice Kim, love the color combo. as soon as it cools down we need to get together and cruise..

by **KIM-P** » 17 Sun Jul, 2011 7:41 pm

Sounds great. Looking forward to it. The color is ford sonic blue and the stripe gm ultra silver. The stripes were a after thought and my wifes idea, What a woman!

by **Bill K** » 20 Wed Jul, 2011 11:26 pm

Hey Kim, are you going to be able to make the Roundup? That car would sure look great in the Parade. 8-)

by **KIM-P** » 21 Thu Jul, 2011 4:47 pm

Bill, not sure yet. Planning a vacation in Sept. I'll get with BOSS and see if we can make it.

by **Ken** » 21 Thu Jul, 2011 8:07 pm

I agree. That is a great looking buggy. I can't wait to see it in person. My "boss" says she really hopes you can make it also, her and the kids would love to see it to.

by **Don** » 28 Thu Jul, 2011 4:27 pm

Wow, is that the same buggy? Looks great!

by **KIM-P** » 28 Thu Jul, 2011 5:38 pm

Ya Don, thats the same Buggy. Took it appart last September and took it for its first test drive this Fathers day. Now I've got the bug to build another car. All I need is money and the wifes approval ;-)

Thanks for all the kudoos on the Buggy. I cant wait to show it off.

by **Bill K** » 28 Thu Jul, 2011 6:24 pm

I know of the perfect event at which to show it off.

by **KIM-P** » 29 Fri Jul, 2011 8:21 pm

Right now we're having trany problems on our truck

we might be spending our vac money on the truck

. So the show is still up in the air.
This is a "HOPE FOR BEST AND LOOK FOR WORST " moment.
