    Nice buggy, makes me miss mine. I have owned two, one was a buggy made by fiber jet out of Sacramento, Ca and the other was an actual Manx. I owned them in the 80s, 90s, never should have sold the Manx. I currently have a nicely built desert rail buggy I run here in California. V.W.s make great off road vehicles.

    Sweet Buggy, awesome paint, I think the tunnel is a good place for the tach, easy to hide the wires too, it’s not like you’re looking at it all the time.

    Fun video Mike. I got a VW powered sand rail when I was 13, and I bombed that thing all over the desert until I graduated high school and had to sell it when I left for college. Thanks for sharing! Oh, and I think the tach down low might be hard to see, but it's about the best option if there isn't room anywhere else.

    • @DesertRatFabrication
      @DesertRatFabrication  2 ปีที่แล้ว

    That’s a nice, buggy, Mike. You guys did a great job on the paint.
    I think you found a good spot for that tach, on the shift tunnel. Shouldn’t be in the way, there.👍

    • @DesertRatFabrication
      @DesertRatFabrication  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Tony, hope you are having a good 2022, I liked the faded Yuma yellow a lot it was a tough decision to change the color, but the burnt orange does look good, yes the tack looks good on the tunnel, seems fitting that the buggy borrows the tack from the 55 truck, talk to you soon my friend

  • @nickpanhead7209
    @nickpanhead7209 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think you chose a perfect color when you painted that, looks great different parts of the day. Good job also on fiberglass repair, also Mike. I think the guage looks good down there.

    • @DesertRatFabrication
      @DesertRatFabrication  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah Nick, the old yellow brings back a lot of good memories, it was just so old school with the sun bleached Yuma yellow, but I really love the burnt orange, probably the best part like you said is the way it changes colors with the day, just like the trucks the buggy is very special to our vintage car and truck history, thanks for your support Nick, talk to you soon
