Really nice work. Next time I build a buggy I will do a tube frame instead of a hacked up stocker.

You know I didn't have a choice. You could not find anything around here that wasnt junk or over priced.

I have heard good things about Kirker as well. They have a GM Hugger Orange that looks good.

No i havent i have been bad. I welded nyloc nuts on the bottom of my mounts were my seats will bolt. That was fun trying to keep the material from melting but it can be done. I need to order seat tracks to finish that part up. I just have slowed down on it busy with other things you know how it goes life i guess.  Gary
