Hey Dave, its a shame you never bought a siggy kit when Meyers was selling them, the 100th one must be very collectable and Meyers sold them off really cheap, so would have been a nice investment for ya. Wonder if the molds got destroyed after the run,,, there must have been a lot of miles left on t...

Scott, was good to see those old snap shots. What a great bunch of guys they were on that trip too,,, everyone made us SO welcome. The guy with the thing is Gary Neese, we kept in contact for a few years after that trip, but kinda lost contact since. I remember the morning we set off from Petes camp...

Hi ya Scott, my ol Baja Buddy!!..... WOW! that Burro looks good!! nice idea for the jerry cans too.

[QUOTE="gary1719;15687"]No they will not. It is not period correct. Sorry[/QUOTE] Gary, I'm not too sure about now, but Meyers used to sell/advertise those lifting hoods years ago in Mania and they looked the same as the Kick Out hood that Nelson posted, the only difference I can see is th...

[QUOTE="madmanx;15658"]Mel, My beautiful bride and I shared collard greens and hoppin john (contains black eyed peas) on New Years day. It's a southern thing (mostly Carolinas) for luck and prosperity for the new year. We have it every Jan 1. I can't speak for the prosperity, but since Sue...

FAO all the American guys, just out of interest, how many of you are eating black eyed peas today?

Happy New Year All, from England! we have just 3 hours and 45 minutes of 09 to go here, but I guess we're all behind the Aussies!

[QUOTE="theManiac;15621"] Hey Mel, I'm thinking more along the lines of leaving the headlights on the fenders & cutting out the top of the hood, so it will clear the headlights. Then installing a raingutter/seal surface (360 degrees) all the way around the opening for the hood to sit o...

[QUOTE="mel hubbard;15615"] if hinging the hood from the dash end, you may need to remove up to 1 inch of fiberglass from the section in front of the gas tank, as the license plate area of the hood can catch on that part of the tub, [/QUOTE] Thinking further about this, I'm sure the licens...

Mike, I have one of the Manx lifting hoods on my buggy, its a shame we are so far away, because it would be much quicker to take a mold off my one and make a new hood, than convert an original. If starting with an original Manx hood, once its been cut where you want it to hinge from, your need to gl...

Merry Christmas and the very best to you all for 2010. Hey Bill, is that Red Neck Santa's latest transport?

[QUOTE="Manxdavid;15514"]Bloody hell!!! Phonecalls with Mel can go on for hours...they could keep going for weeks if Dave's the same...[/QUOTE] Am I really that bad on the dog n bone Dave?,, funny thing is, someone once said I could talk for England!!.....Maybe I'll just email him then.

[QUOTE="manxrob;15511"]Is this the car you are referring to Mel? http://www.tonyprioli.com/buggy_files/image293.jpg[/QUOTE] Thanks Rob, yes thats the one, the frame I have is the flat one with the fiberglass floor.

[QUOTE="tim morgan;15503"]Dave is one of those guys you could talk to all day on the phone,,Just a great guy,,,,[/QUOTE] Yes, I did speak to Dave about 9 years ago and he seemed like a great guy. Thanks for posting his contact details up Bob, we have a guy in UK that deals with Dave, (Darr...
