At age 13, first time to drive a car. A manual transmission and a dune buggy. Should be one he'll remember

Now you will have to keep the coil wire locked up so when you go out on the town in the daily driver the buggy doesnt go for a test drive without you :twisted:

You know my wife posted that picture on Facebook and there were people commenting there was fear in my eyes.

I think it was whiplash, he wasn't very smooth on the clutch.

I'm looking at the first pic..

I don't see any mounting hardware for the windshield frame, how did you attach it? Very clean looking!
you must have pride....in your ride....

The windsheild frame is extruded aluminum, it has a channel on the inside. I drilled two holes on each side in the body and put a hex head bolt in. The head of the bolt slides in the channel, then I just tightened the bolts down.

I made some similar to what Berrien offers with thier kits. A piece of flat bar with two all threads welded to it. The Windshield slides over it then you tighten up the nuts on the all thread under the dash.
