Faron, No worries on the NACHO orange mine is MACK truck orange.

blackthree4me, No wheelies here it's only got a 1641 for now!

Richard king, When ya coming home bro?

Thanks for all the complements it defiantly helps keep the inspiration level high.

by **Faron** » 27 Thu Jul, 2006 9:48 pm

I may change things up to get that kind of stance. It is so tough looking! I like it no matter what color orange it is! From what I can see it looks GREAT! You should be very proud!

by **Fscott** » 28 Fri Jul, 2006 12:37 am

HEY FRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK!

WHAT'S the next project? I've quite a few pics of your previous blue one! Do share!

by **Aquabuggy** » 28 Fri Jul, 2006 7:10 am

Faron, Let me know if ya have any questions. I can tell you what worked well for me and what to avoid as some parts of the build have been a real pain in the a$$.

Frank, Long time no see, what have ya been up to? The inspiration came from the one Bobby was building but mine is very tame compared to his.

by **Texasbuggys** » 28 Fri Jul, 2006 12:50 pm

Hey Chris, you have taken that one and done an excellt job! Kuddos man! It is looking really sweet! Need to hurry up, I have next one lined up for ya! LOL, Realy it is looking great.

Actually there are a lot of really nice buggies being built right now. I have again pushed mine out and have two chassis and some body kits going on right now so closes I may get is a ride with the great Chris! cHRIS, A BIG Thanks for representing Texasbuggys! And to everyone else running some of our stuff, the list is pretty long as I have sold a few parts to a large number of folks on this site but even more than that I have gained a heck of a lot of good friends and always look forward to meeting everyone and visiting and seeing what everone has been building first and foremost as that is what I enjoy the most about the buggys and the fine folks involved with them. That is why most shows, I don't bring alot of parts along at shows, I am not the salesman type and hate that part of the business! So if ya need something and I am coing to the show, let me know and I will bring it with me to save ya some shipping cost fellas.

I would also like to give a special thanks to Neal O' and Greg R. and lots of other folks who started and have spent countless hours developing and improving this site and club into what it has become today. Hats off to you guys! I wished we were physically a little closer so we could offer more help and attend the club meetings but you guys are really working it out well with a handfull of people.

Kuddos to everyone and lets get the word out and have a great showing next your in Salado again!!!

by **Aquabuggy** » 28 Fri Jul, 2006 2:40 pm

Bobby, Thanks for the complements and advice/help along the way.
Bring on the next one this one is almost done and if Im not in the shop Im driving my old lady nuts. :lol:

A great big congratulations, Chris. A good looking buggy like that deserves that trophy. Good work.

by **Aquabuggy** » 05 Thu Oct, 2006 5:33 pm

Faron, Im thanking about going to Oktoberfest in Boerne on the 22nd. If we go Ill let ya know. Maybe we can get together and take the buggy for a ride

Steve O, you aren't kidding, I take him to school in the morning and when I get home Id swear he grew 2 inches.

Bill K, Thanks , Im planning to attend another show this saturday but there will be no 1st place repeat as Ill be going against the well deserved reining Manx Club buggy of the month

See ya Saturday

by **Bill K** » 05 Thu Oct, 2006 9:43 pm

My plans at the moment are to be in the Hill Country during the time of the VOSA show, so I'm thinking about making the Octoberfest in Boerne likewise. The weekend before that is a fantastic street rod show in Boerne also. It's called Key to the Hills Rod Run. The show is only for pre '49, so buggies don't count, but if you like cars, there is some very fine iron on display at this show. Going is an annual event for me.

by **Faron** » 05 Thu Oct, 2006 10:09 pm

I don't know that I will make it out to Boerne, my 7 year old Girl has a Karate Tournament. Its also my Moms Birthday, but she may be out of town with my Step-Dad on a Business trip. Please let me know if you go, I will do my best to show up!
Bill when is the carshow, I would love to show up. November 5TH is a Jaguar show, and I may take my Dads Jag with a For Sale Sign
