Re: Bud's Manx Restoration - Part Deux - Clutch Upgrade
Since I am the President of the "I can't leave well enough alone." Club, I'm always looking at some modification/improvement for our little Fantasy Ship. Last winter's upgrade project was to replace the cable clutch with a hydraulic clutch. Who do you call? Dr. Zarkov, of course. In his o...

Re: Storage Box Build
Update on this build thread: Years have passed and the wooden top I made, due to its weight, started rubbing on the body.

Re: Love for the Meyers Manx 2.0, and known specs
I am not an EV fan generally, but this little buggy is the future for our hobby. I wish I was one of the "target market", but I'll still enjoy seeing the progress and pictures. For that matter, I wish I was in the Ford GT "target market."

Here's hoping for better times...
