Yeah we built all those buggies here with the home made tubing bender setup on the wood splitter. I still have all of the Buggy Frame dimensions cataloged with angles and pictured to duplicate those frames like the Red Buggy if you ever feel the true need to build one.
We built these off the VW Bugs suspensions and drive lines which are in short supply now. Another one of those things that was good to do when the time was right, all the readily available parts are gone now.
People are still building them, but with the components they are building them with the price has tripled.
One of our custom modifications to beef up the drive lines was to put in the Super Diff (4 spider gears like the Sure-Grips) and the modified 280-Z Drive Shafts to replace the stock VW CV Jointed Driveshafts that would blow out all the time, that fixed that for good. They looked cool sitting in there too.
