Re: Project "Doom-Buggy" Early '60's Buggy...

Are you going to reinforce the outer edge of the pan at all? A friend of mine is restoring his Manx style dune buggy he and his dad built when he was in high school and he recommended I do that with my pan. Several years ago he gave me a shortened type 4 pan...it had a body but my friend wanted it because is was the same type his buggy was. IIRC he recommended using something like 1" square tubing for the perimeter.

Also, are you going to keep it a swing arm rear suspension or convert it to IRS?
