Manx Club

Our daughter, who up till this point, was less than thrilled about the buggy projects in our household has changed her tune! Although its actually a go-kart, its called a mini-buggy as well and she is ready to roll her sleeves up to do a lot of the work herself. She even took the gratuitous "br...

Well the last of the rust is out the door to the sandblaster, so my build is going to be on hold for a short time. HOWEVER, I was majorly surprised today when my shift knob I designed came in. Probably the only "Girlie" thing that will be in it, but HEY, that's why its my build! :D 1506 15...

Steve,
Trying to send you the info, but the messages are getting "hung up" in the outbox. Please let me know if you get them. Thanks.

Steve, I just sent you a message with regard to the hoop frame.

Ouch!

What about a regular steel/fabricaion shop? They work with bending and welding metal tubing all the time. Afterall, this isnt really a vehicle frame like a body shop would be used to. Just a thought to think outside the box a little.

This is going on a basic Manx... Windshield and standard rollbar. I have seen in the past people have made some sort of brackets for the windshield frame to hold down the front, but haven't seen any as of late

Well.... the Big Guns had to get called in yet again! Was so happy to get this front beam that was in immaculate shape out of Texas... no rot, not bent, even has factory original paint still on it! Looked SO MUCH BETTER than anything you can find in Upstate NY! THEN the tear down happens. Looks were...

Can't wait to see your build on this!

Has anyone attached a surfboard on their Manx and if so, can you show some pictures of how you attached it?

I can say as of right now... Tom is working on some custom Tow'd stuff for my build! Hydro-dipped parts, custom seats, and yes mats as well. I will post those pics once all is said and done here. I too have the Difference for our other buggy and it is a great piece!

Oh that is definitely getting capped off... And OMG you sound just like Craig... Minus the accent! He is going to move the VIN..."Because you can't see it anyways"... just going to have this blasted to get all cleaned up before welding etc.

Today Tear Down is officially complete!
Needed to call in the "Big Guns" to assist along with the help of the "Sawzall"



....and COMPLETE!

Next stop, taking to the sand blaster that did the hoop frame.

Since I am in a holding pattern for a few engine parts and my welder.... I began work on my steering wheel facelift project. For my whole Tow'd design, I fell in love with this vintage steering wheel as it fulfills a specific purpose down the road. Its not fully finished, but almost there. Needed to...
