Joe, That's great! He's just 15 minutes up the road from me. I'll see if he can resurface the journal on that crankshaft. Here's some pics of that mystery homemade buggy that was at the Bugorama with the front corner windows and aluminum gull wing doors. Sure wish I knew the story on that one. Image Image Image

Must be a cousin of Gene's buggy Gadget seeing the winch and big chain on the front of it.

I really like it but I can't figure out the winch, chain, wide wheels and low profile street tires. Maybe he has another set of off-road wheels.

We were teasing Gene today about this buggy being Gadget's redneck cousin. Bugarama was a blast, great seeing alot of the guys and various buggies plus some great deals at the swap meet. :rock:
