Re: Front Springs?
When we changed out the front beam on a ball joint front end, we initially went with the poly bushings. The front end was bound so tight, it would jar your teeth when driving. Finally removed them and went back to the stock style mica bushings. Moves freely now with no issues. I learned later that t...

Re: Need help finding a restoration guy in Georgia
Welcome to the asylum! :crazy: :shifty: While I can't offer any suggestions to you immediate question (we are on the West Coast), have you thought about doing as much of the work as you can yourself to get it running? With a little time, inclination, and the help of the internet along with a couple ...

Re: Front Springs?
How do you plan on using your buggy? If you are going to be mostly street, then cutting one of the torsion springs might work out just fine. If you are going to be off-road for a significant amount of time, you may want to leave it a bit stiff. Ours seems stiff when parked and putting weight on the ...

Re: Front Springs?
My first recommendation before deleting any torsion bars would be to make sure the spring packs are thoroughly lubed. We had a ball joint front end that was as stiff as could be. After lubing it, it loosened up over a few months (it took time to get the lube between each of the bars. You could R &am...

Re: Depreciation or Appreciation of buggys
Much of it depends on where the market is from day to day, year to year. Right now with everything going on in the world, you would be hard pressed to get much for most buggies. Not alot of a chance to get out of it what you put into it monetarily. We bought our buggy in 2001 for $4K. We have since ...

Re: Windshield Wiper Solution (CUSTOM, off-the-shelf parts)
That is a nice unit. Just keep in mind that with it installed on the top of the windshield frame, you won't be able to put either a hard top or soft top on the buggy which leaves the occupants exposed to the full force of the elements (sun, rain etc.).

Re: Rockin' the River March 19-22, 2020
This is what was put out by the club regarding space reservations a few months ago. I haven't seen anything else out yet specifically related to event registration. The last couple of events were put out on Facebook first, so try checking there. The web site has been taking a back seat lately. -----...

Re: Wanted: hardtop
Many have gone the soft top route. Relatively easy to make your own if you have any sewing experience, or you can have a custom canvas one made from a boat top maker.
