Check out the great build article from JSPBTOWN. Now he's from MA, but we'll let that slide :lol: Great job restoring a Manx and great documentation. Thanks Jeff!

Thanks Greg!

Yes, I am from MA, but everyone should have some level of pity for me.....we are getting about 12" of snow!

These pics were from this weekend....before the 12" we are getting now.

I wish I could be driving it, but as I sit here looking out my window I can see only snow coming down.

April is only 3 months away!

Welcome

Welcome to the club, very nice buggy! Sure looks cold in the pictures! Hey just curious if the pods were from me? They look just like the pods I offer. I love the color choices, again a very well executed buggy! Kudos to you, the builder!

Murz....thanks for the nice words. I never really thought of it as talent...more like a need to stay out of trouble!

Texasbuggys....yes, I think I did buy them from you...maybe 2 years back? You shipped them via Greyhound bus? Its been a while, but I think they were yours. They fit great....one low section on one side that needed some filling but I think it was from my buggy's age, versus your product. I was very please with them. They took primer and paint very well.

Just curious. What is different about your pods that allows you to recognize them :?:

Thanks

I just have the ones that were on my buggy when I bought it (brand unknown, black gelcoat under paint). I thought you saw something in the pictures above that made them stand out as yours. Since to me they looked like standard pods I was curious if something was different about them. Just curious. :? Thanks

Yes, I got the cage from Neil. I like it. With the seats, and the diamond plat floors my head doesn't even come clost to hitting the center tubes. And I am 6'2' tall.

And I never thought of that but, yes I do have two Texas Manx Club sponsers products on the buggy.
