Anything about Dune Buggies
We secured both sides with the stainless steel plates and epoxied to the Fiberglass edge… bolted the body to the chassis and will let it cure for 24 hours… that should reinforce the body edge from all the years of abuse. Oh yeah, and it looks great too, thanks to #Dieter’sMetalFabricating
Dieter’s Metal Fabricating Ltd.
Will tighten it down a little more in the next few days and I will get some pictures ready.

Took me a bit of time to fit the mounting panel of Stainless Steel courtesy of #Dieter’s Metal Fabricating, turns out that the pattern I mocked up when the #Dunebuggy body was off the chassis was a bit off.
But, check out the fit now …
And , tomorrow I plan to wire up the ignition and too up some fresh fuel and see if I can get the 1974 1600cc fired up.
Crossing my fingers… update to follow tomorrow… sure hope it’s good news.

The stainless steel side plates ( thanks to Peter Hohendorn and Ken Eybel of #Dieter’s) have been fitted, the holes drilled and the stainless steel bolts have been mocked up, on the passenger side of the buggy.
And my helper is out today, now that it’s a little cooler than the past couple of days.
Okay, back to work, that’s all folks!

Okay not much got done today, or yesterday. Went shopping and sourced just under $75.00 of stainless steel bolts and nuts, washers, etc….
And installed 5 or 6 of the body bolts before I had to call it a day… back to work over the weekend and my next up will be holiday Monday.
