It's a dune buggy I got along with $700 for my '57 Chevy.
Very basic.

I wish I had a camper to bring. Right now I'm debating whether to try to get this thing street legal or not. DMV is saying since it's not in their system, it would have to look like a '56 VW to get a regular title, otherwise it would be a 2013 SPCN. The other option is just to get a green sticker and have to trailer it everywhere.
Donal that's kinda crazy I'll ask my dad about the DMV thing.... He's got a Myers Manx, sitting on '57 pan, been in the family since the late 60' s I think..., is yours aluminum body... Never seen that before

Yeah, the framework for the body is all square steel tubing, with aluminum panels riveted to it. It looks to be handmade, and is definitely one of a kind.
I've got a little thread going over on TheSamba.com as well. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/vi...&sid=98e0d527bd28c0fde55c3509a4a8a739#6598344
Nobody's asked me yet about the ToyotaDon username, LOL.

I lived on that site for quite a while. Had a 59 European bug, still had the semaphores, a 63 US bug, and 73 square. Great wv resource, along with cb performance for local parts

I had to insert a 'new' pan under my DB to get it street legal. Coincidentally I converted to IRS at the same time (kept the Link Pin front) and gave it a flat 10 ga. floor.

I'm wanting to get this back on the road, but good ol dad won't order the carb rebuild kit. It has a leaky throttle shaft, so a rebuild and new bushings are in the future. First we have to finish This. After that comes the bug. I will probably end up updating both this thread and the 82 build thread.
