Sorry for the delay, but there's really not been much done. I take forever and a day (see Loretta's current update) to do anything, and took a full day to get just the zerk fittings into the new beam due to some over zealous powdercoating, and of course my honey-do list each weekend when I get home. I work 250 miles from home, and come home most weekends, but it's a fine balance of buggy vs. family time (even though it is her buggy).
My paint/body guy is out proudly serving this great nation of ours on a submarine submerged somewhere out in the Atlantic Ocean, and the roll cage builder is next in line. Scheduled to drop the body and chassis off with him next weekend.
I've changed my mind on the pan swap, as the one I already have is in excellent shape, and is already totally together. It makes more sense to do it that way to me. I'm always changing my mind about what and how I'm going to do.
Once I get it back from the cage manufacturer, I'll be ready to drop the rear seats and deck cover off for restoring after I modify them to fit with the cage.
Wesley (paint/body guy) will get it shortly after he returns towards the end of next month sometime.
And lastly, I have been a little busy making deals on a new buggy hauler for when I want to take a buggy to a show AND take a bunch of parts. And when I picked it up, I also made a deal on another buggy to add to the herd.

It's a Sand Flea Pickup, originally produced by the National Glas-Car Company, out of Oldsmar, FL.
