Driver’s side is done, bolting down the @MeyersManx #DuneBuggy body is back on the ’64 Chassis, @calimports

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.

Cheers,

Passenger side is setup, bolting down the @MeyersManx #DuneBuggy body is back on the ’64 Chassis, @calimports

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!

The @MeyersManx #DuneBuggy body is back on the ’64 Chassis, installing the parts from @calimports

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.

Cheers,

The @MeyersManx #DuneBuggy body is back on the ’64 Chassis, parts arrived thanks @calimports

Okay, I have been a little busy putting, #badmanxbuggy back together, but have made some progress. Sorry no new pictures but what have I accomplished, you ask… well lots!!!!! And take note, it was 29c and felt like 40c with the humidity… tough working in the garage…

I really couldn’t illustrate it with new pictures and just have to give you a quick run down.

• I wasn’t happy with the fit from the body seal and ripped it all out
• I installed the steering couplers, so I could line up the #MeyersManx #Dunebuggy body
• Re-worked the rubber body seals and set the #MeyersManx #Dunebuggy body down on the 64 Chassis again
• Wow, took me Monday, late afternoon until Wednesday night to get it done (but, I did have to switch from night shifts to days)
• Tomorrow, need to check the fit and source some stainless steel bolts and washers…

Okay, that’s all folks, until tomorrow night

Cheers,
