Sandpiper? Isn't that some wussy little bird?

Seriously though, looks like you guys have made a bunch of progress. If you are going to be around this weekend I would like to stop by and see it.

Scott....you gotta remember I'm an old fart....back when I was in school computers were as big as a house...the abbycus(sp)was still popular among students....and chalk was the next big thing on the horizon.....when you come down next week-end I'll let you take a couple pics to post for me....you can work your magic on it Smile

Was on vacation last week....
Didn't get alot done-but-Joe and I found out it's a pain to modify a tilt steering column to fit a buggy....

Just how many does it take to make one....
TWO
One to tear apart to see how it's put together and one to actually modify.....

So.....any updates?

I know Joe is holding out on his new buy.....

by Johnny Wed Jul 01, 2009 10:45 pm

No new updates as of the moment......
Finances for it have gotten kinda thin here lately.....
Hopefully I'll be able to get back on it here soon....

As far as Joes new buy I'll let him fill every one in on that......
I will say it was a good buy tho...... Cool

by Johnny Sun Jul 26, 2009 6:02 pm

Got a front bumper made up for it.......
Looks kinda like the beginnings of a sprint car....
