Dune Buggy & Hot VW
Finally they have the whole APRIL issue full of FDB's. It's been a couple of years that they devoted so many pages to our cause.. Congratulations to Tom and Kathleen, making it to the big time..Great article on their pair of "Bruce's creations".
I had the wife pick up the issue. I noticed Nat Gohl's buggy is in there too. Any coincidence that both buggies were BOTM at one time?

Mvovr & jyboyton - Thanks! Kathleen's Manxter is really Kathleen's Manxter. Her name is on the title, not mine. She paid the bills to build it and maintain it. I did most of the building, but, she picked the combination of parts & colors. It was the best "father & son" project I have been involved with. Thanks again, Tom
Tom & Kathleen Iacoboni

[QUOTE="Mvovr"]This months HOT VW magazine had buggies on the cover!!! "BEACH BUGGIES" It also has a tech section discussing wiring your buggy.[/QUOTE] I'm not sure I like the idea of running the wiring along the tunnel inside the car then up the firewall to the dash. I like all my wiring hidden and my carpeting smooth (no wires under it). It seems to me there was a lack of planning as the So-Cal buggy was being built and they may have forgot to provide a way to run the wiring from the front of the buggy to the back. :2cents:
exactly jerry. mine was done that way and it's bothered me. it was even painted over when the body was painted! and the ironic thing is- i do have a tube glassed in for that under the lip just for that purpose i would guess. (why else would there be a tube, hollow on both end starting by the firewall and ending behind the rear seat area) it will be utilized this time around though!
