Bought my top from the Meyers in '68 My side curtains had a metal frame sewn inside the canvas  They also had zippered windows to allow you to fold down the plastic.  There were no snaps on the bottom edge of the side curtains. The leading edge had a metal flat bar stock to lock  into the windshield...

We just reserved our beach house in Kitty Hawk for "Manx on the Banx - 2012".  Now I've got eleven months to get the buggy running again.  It wasn't much fun flat towing it from Cleveland to Kitty Hawk and back without driving it Saturday with the club.  I want to thank everyone that trie...

Got here yesterday, this place is just waiting for everyone else to arrive. This place is heaven. Another quick question....can I get one more reservation for Saturday's dinner? I'll bring money Friday nite.....

Quick Question--- Planning to attend the Manx on the Banx.  Thought I'd tow the buggy with a tow bar.  Now a friend was over and said you'll ruin the tranny, no oil getting to the gears, needs to be trailered.   So I'm thinking that if Bruce made the Tow'd for the purpose of towing it to the dunes, ...

Sorry, Haven't touched the car in a couple of months, Winter's here with a vengeance. Waiting for spring again to resume work. You'll be the first to see the updates......But I've got a better photo I'll post today.

Flipping axles switches the direction of rotation on the axle. the stress on the axle switches the torque, and the axle is more apt to fail under load. Every thing I have read states that you should never flip axle direct...

Gary, I didn't get any directions on installing the hardware with the chassis, but yes, the tubes bolt to the e-brake handle plate they supplied. I also put a rubber grommet tube clamps at the spot where the tubes leave the pan to keep them from vibrating. Side pods are from Winnie and yes they need...

Gary, Have been working on my rebuild for more then a couple of years. Using a Berrien chassis with a swing rear axle and a link pin front end. I'm coupling it to a Porsche 914 TYPE IV EFI engine. Check out my rebuild web site. http://home.roadrunner.com/~jpboyton/
