made alot of progress on the mock up of the buggy, body mounted to pan, disc bakes installed on the front also rear drums, all the brake plumbing is in, tilt steering column mock up, chassis is almost 100% done. a little fiberglass work on the rear seating area, mount the seats, and off to have the cage built...[list=]

You are Lookin' Good there Chris.

It looks to me like Bryan may be buying you a bottle of wine in Fredericksburg

by **Texasbuggys** » 03 Sat Jan, 2009 7:59 pm

Looking good Chris! I need to come by and unload some poppers in your yard to slow ya down! LOL, just joking, now get'r done!

by **yoboy** » 03 Sat Jan, 2009 9:41 pm

Looking good!!!!!

Keep us posted on your progess.

by **yoboy** » 03 Sat Jan, 2009 9:44 pm

By the way I saw a sheep at Canton First Monday Trade Days today but Gloria would not let me get it for the Sonic parade in Fredericksburg :lol:

by **Aquabuggy** » 03 Sat Jan, 2009 10:07 pm

Maybe it's just me but your buggy needs something, what could it be

Oh I got it figured out all it needs is about 6 to 8 inches of lift some 35's in the rear and some 30's up front that should about do it :lol:

Just kidding it'll look great once the sheep pen is installed :twisted:

.

All BS aside it's looking really good! Keep us posted on your progress.

by **Bryan Porter** » 31 Sat Jan, 2009 1:55 pm

Hey Chris are you getting a lot done on this great day!!!!!!!!!

by **ckolek** » 31 Sat Jan, 2009 3:59 pm

by **Aquabuggy** » 31 Sat Jan, 2009 4:53 pm

Pics of the buggy, not the huge pile of empty beer cans :lol:

by **Texasbuggys** » 08 Sun Feb, 2009 1:38 pm

Just had to throw this one in for ya. My daughter caught it on film right after I talked to you yesterday and we were driving off and she said, we have to get a picture of this for Chris!

by **ckolek** » 08 Sun Feb, 2009 7:54 pm

youre starting to worry me, im afraid when i leave you the buggy for the cage, its going to come back with the sheeps cage instead of a roll cage. :shock:

by **Texasbuggys** » 08 Sun Feb, 2009 7:57 pm

by **ckolek** » 22 Sun Feb, 2009 10:52 am

by **Fred** » 19 Sun Apr, 2009 6:52 am

Hey Chris, the cage looks awsome! Is there a buggy blast in the near future? OH, to be that close!!

by **ckolek** » 19 Sun Apr, 2009 9:27 am

thanks Fred, im hoping there is a Buggy Blast in my future. the cage is at the powder coaters now and when it comes back this week it will be a mad push to get the car finished.... check your pm

Very Nice! 8-)

by **Aquabuggy** » 10 Sun May, 2009 12:28 pm

Lookin Good bro!
Those wheels are HOT, much better then the others.

Is that Bryan's Shop?

by **Bryan Porter** » 24 Fri Jul, 2009 11:38 am

Do you still have a buggy or not between you and Bobby I might have to go to AA after I drink all the wine you guys owe me. lol!!!!!!
Or you will have to help me.

by **Bill K** » 24 Fri Jul, 2009 2:23 pm

Hey Bryan: Can Cris get even on the wine if he has it at the Roundup? ;-)

How about it Chris, are you and Kara going to be in the Rounup Parade?

by **ckolek** » 24 Fri Jul, 2009 3:39 pm

im keeping my fingers crossed.. i only have a few more wires to hook up, then a trip to Bryans to start and run it , if that all goes well off to upholstery, then the RoundUp..Kara is certainly ready for the trip and JUstin and Momma as well..

by **Bill K** » 24 Fri Jul, 2009 3:46 pm

Great News. Keep on working. A long body with a family is as good as it gets for a parade. But, that means you have to buy more goodies since you will have more people throwing stuff to the kids along the parade route. :lol:

by **Aquabuggy** » 24 Fri Jul, 2009 4:49 pm

That's one sexy looking buggy. Long, lean & low

Sure hope to see ya at the round up!

by **BrianB** » 24 Fri Jul, 2009 7:47 pm

Sure is PURTY 8-)

Looks like that is going to be a great family cruiser. Do you have any kind of top to keep the sun off the young'ns?

by **ckolek** » 24 Fri Jul, 2009 8:15 pm

thanks Chris, if Bryan has anything to do with it we will be alot lower.. :lol:

Bryanb we will have a full bikini top to keep us shaded..

by **Jack Duncan** » 25 Sat Jul, 2009 10:38 pm

If you haven't made the top yet, you might look at mine in the Members Project section. Or better yet look at it when you come to the Roundup.

by **ckolek** » 23 Sat Jan, 2010 5:03 pm

took the buggy out today for its first courage run out to Brians 40 miles round trip, and she runs and drives fantastic... now to Yoboys on the 6th of feb.. and then the CLASSIC..

by **Fred** » 23 Sat Jan, 2010 6:40 pm

Wow, a 40 mile courage run, I haven't gone 4 miles through the neighborhood yet. I guess I still got that "I dont quite trust my handiwork-luck enough to go that far yet" thing. your car looks top of the line Chris, can't wait to see it in person. Viva Salado!! Fred

by **Bill K** » 23 Sat Jan, 2010 6:48 pm

Hey Chris, that's sweet. 8-)

Will Billy have it finished in time for the Classic?

by **Bryan Porter** » 24 Sun Jan, 2010 11:51 am

Hey Bobby more wine for Bryan.
