I want to see buggy pictures with names

Postby bugbitten » 07 Fri Nov, 2014 5:25 pm

I would like to put a buggy with a person. Trying to learn everyone and there cars. What is the best way to do this. I was really looking forward to this group. Not only for help but I think I could help a lot of you. Thanks Brian

Hello Brian and welcome to the club. I'm not the most mechanical here by a far distance, but I am certainly looking forward to following your build. Please post pictures as you can. My deepest sympathy on your wifes situation.

This is me, the wife Delia and our buggy Crazy Alice. Great idea, thanks for asking.

Thanks so much, it is very nice to meet you. I have been a body man for 26 yrs and have almost all the tools one could need. I am going to install my car lift next week. I have a 1600 sq ft shop. I am by no means a no it all but I see a lot of things done wrong when it comes to welding. I would like to help. Thanks again Brian

PS; I have to figure out how to do pics

Not a very good picture of us, but the buggy looks great. It is the green one!

Thanks John. Hey when I get to the point of wiring do you think I could look at your buggy sometime.

I am trying to build a long body lowered, I think there is a purple one on here maybe Mr. Porter but not for sure. It is a short body but it is the look I am going for. What happened to Texas buggies web site?

Our preferred method, is for you to use a photo hosting site to load your pictures to Then use the [img] tags listed above to insert your image link.

When the "attach" tool is used, this takes storage space on the TMC host server.

Many TMC members use Photobucket.com. But you could use any photo hosting site that will provide you link to the image, even Facebook.

Oh you had asked about the purple buggy? Is this the one? Yes, this belong to Bryan Porter. (Click image for the video)

yeah that's the buggy and that's the way I like to have fun. Thanks for notes on pics. I have a hodge podge of vw stuff down here now and 1 more on the way. I cut my body in half Saturday to make it a long body. I have a lot of junk but I have some good stuff to I think. I am not scared to work in fact it is good therapy for me since I have not done it in so long. It is just hard to do and take care of my wife at the same time, so I only sleep about 3hrs a day. Some time for me and her. I would love to get together with any one who would just look at what I have and make some suggestions so that I know I am going the right direction. Thanks so much guys, it is just nice to talk to some people some times. God Bless

WoW! Really cool to see all the Buggies with their people. I gotta ask, who owns the Red & Yellow Buggy behind John & Karen?

the red and yellow buggy is owned by a couple living near Galveston at Bayou Vista.....met them through a retired service man named Rick Decker. Nice people.
