Well I have driven it a little but it runs like crap. Missing, sputtering and lots of hesitation. And now it nearly dies at anything over 3000 rpm. I'm not sure what is going on. I have a new carb and new distributor so it could be either of those or both I really don't know right now I am so frustr...

So I finally got the motor in and running (sort of). It is a 1904 (74×90.5) I have a new Weber progressive from aircooled.net and jetted by them as well. I also have a Magnaspark Digital from CB Performance. I don't know what else to do to make it idle. I can't really get to the idle mixture screw w...

This past weekend and on the 4th of July I was able to get the motor in and almost ready to start it up and break it in. Oil system is plumbed and primed. Fuel gauge works so far and the lines are primed, clear and connected. All gauges are hooked up and seem to function properly. I'm nervous to fir...

Almost there! I had a scare with a broken exhaust stud Thursday night but was able to finally drill it out and chase the threads and it worked out wonderfully. The hood is attached, the wires are all run and in their looms. The roll cage is installed. All the lights work properly. New brake lights /...

Thank you both very much for the information. I am really looking forward to the event.

I'm a new member working hard to have my buggy ready for the Big Bear Bash and want some more info on what goes on this weekend. I am trying to convince my wife or kids to come with but other than the show and shine Saturday morning then the drives what else is happening? What other events or planne...

I know it's been too long between posts. But I have been up to some good work on the buggy. I have been able to cut all the holes in the dash and install all of the buttons and gauges that I had intended to use. A Speedhut tach is to the right of the column and then the two oil gauges. I have replac...

Well, I have been at it again. You know, you go out to work on the buggy and just stare into the whole mess of it and before you know it nothing has happened. That was the last month or so (or longer). I have the new Speedhut tach that I received as a Christmas gift. The oil gauges and all new switc...

Thank you for the kind words of encouragement. I have not done much more with the holidays and family responsibilities not to mention that thing called work. I have pressed on with the plans to rewrite the buggy almost entirely. Since I have installed the two oil gauges, temp and pressure, I ran som...

Ok, so been doing a little bit at a time and going slow so that I dont completely mess it up. I used standard body to pan rubber and riveted it down to keep it in place, I tried stainless screws but the cheap crap from Home Depot kept snapping the heads off. I will get a pic here soon I fiberglassed...

Hey; This is looking GOOD! I'm going to try and follow this thread. I have one of these that is sitting in my driveway. I'm putting in a new dash and redoing the rear seat. Other than that (and maybe a set of 10" Cragers for the back) it's done. Keep posting pictures... What it looked like the...

I was able to get the pans all welded in, sealed, under-coated and top-coated using both really old rubberized undercoating and some newer stuff that hardens and sealed in the smell of the old undercoating. Top was finished in two coats of spray on truck bed liner. Also was able to run the long brak...

My first attempt at replacing floor pans went well I think. I didn't get them welded in as they didn't sit completely flat at least not yet. Once the extra of the old pans were removed they fit better. I did add to the 1" square tube that was under the front most parts of the pan but for what e...

Ok so my wife actually said I should replace my naturally aspirated floor pans and spend more money on this build. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160930/ff7c019cba005debe23224d642637947.jpg Since I wanted to do this once and get it right I am going to use Wolfsburg West pans as they have the repu...

Love the look!
