We are excited - Dune Buggy is coming home - 4-12-11

4-8-11 - Just talked to Karl's Kustoms in Phoenix - They will have the Dune Buggy ready to be picked on the 12th. They will have rewired the Buggy, new headlights, new taillights, new steering wheel, new slides for seats, completely new dash with all gauges working, new switches, etc. Should really be an upgrade from the old version. So when we have it back will be ready for a new paint job. Then will need new upholstery installed and should be looking good. Since the Bug is 45 yrs old it is ready ffor a facelift. Then will only have to do some engine work, transmission and clutch. Now all we need is some nice weather so we can enjoy Dune Buggy riding. Wow! This car has some really nice memories from all the years we have had it. I built it in 1968 and had it running in November of 1968. This car was built from a 1965 VW Bug that had been rolled on the Guide Meridian Road near Lynden where we live in the summer.
