The wider fenders and the ridge down the centre of the hood make it look a lot like a Fibretech Glitterbug, but the spoiler on the rear is different. So what it is, I can't tell you. Regardless of what it is and I do hope that you identify it, what is important is that you now have a buggy. If you need any help about anything no matter how trivial it my semm to you, ask us here and we will do our best to help you.

Sparklebug, Glitterbug, it makes no difference when ordering a windshield. Measure the dash from side to side, and order one. If they don't have one to fit your exact dimensions, it's better to order one a tad bigger than smaller. It's easier to bend the windshield mounting posts IN than it is to stretch them.

Just add $6,000 and 600 hours and it won't really matter who made the tub..............................

[QUOTE="fubar"]Just add $6,000 and 600 hours and it won't really matter who made the tub..............................[/QUOTE] The womon already has her heart set on painting it with that MYSTIC paint, ( the one that changes color from every angle.) Luckily im a multi talented person, Certified welder, Machinist, Electrician, and ran a small auto body shop for a few years, so costs shouldn;t be too bad.

Sad part is, it looks like the $24,000 supercrew, will have to set outside in the snow all winter, while this tub takes up the garage.
