Saw the buggie on Craigslist today, it looks killer hope you get her sold. And you DO have an excuse, it's called 104 degrees in the shade!!! Same one I've been using for weeks, no amount of shiney new parts can trump the heat!

nice progress, keep at it.

JRBECK64 · 08-02-2010, 01:16 PM

67cheby,
I have to tell you that its taken a while to go through your build but I am completely impressed with all the Fabrication, Engineering and Thought that has gone into this truck. It puts mine into perspective when all we did to ours is weld in new Rockers and Cab Corners and Marker lites in the bed. So do you see the End in sight any time soon?

**67cheby** · 08-02-2010, 01:31 PM

First of all thanks, greatly appreciated, my goal was Oct ......doesnt look like im going to make it , every time i get burned out i step back a while and do something else , well this time it was a Manx style dune buggy i am just about finished with it , i am going to put it on ebay and then back to the truck, i am about 100% positive it will be done by next show season hopefully by the first of the year

67cheby,
Have you thought about a color for the finished product? I noticed in the build that the Tubs were kind of a baby blue color, is that what your thinking about going with?

JRBECK64

**67cheby** · 08-02-2010, 03:12 PM

it will be Bright Mercedes Silver , with bright red interior

JRBECK64

He can't do baby blue! I have dibs on that color....

jmedero · 08-03-2010, 12:08 AM

you are not kidding about the heat.... its killer. I own a mobile detailing company and we are dieing out there. Today was heat index of 108..... that sucks. No energy or sweat left to work on the truck.

es67chevy · 08-07-2010, 02:22 PM

Man, that is a sweet lookin bug! Glad to hear you are gettin back on the truck though!! Ready to see you catch up. I'm giving you your chance. May be September before the customization shop can get to the hood on mine.

babyblueoval · 08-07-2010, 03:10 PM

Aww, come on, gotta have a VW pic or two now and then.

**67cheby** · 08-07-2010, 03:27 PM

Represent !!

babyblueoval · 08-07-2010, 03:59 PM

And btw, these are the colors that my Blazer will be. It's Ford t-bird starmist blue. don't hate.

Trying to figure out if I wanna paint the trailer the same colors also.

72BlckButy · 08-07-2010, 11:44 PM

Any truck updates?

es67chevy · 08-08-2010, 03:28 PM

Man, I got to see this thing in person yesterday. I must say, Mike knows what he is doing. That thing is sick!!! The details are just amazing. I can't wait to see it together myself.
And thanks to Mike for loaning me his factory hood hinges to help me with my hood issues.
May you sell your dune buggy soon and sink the moola into that ride!!

mac72 · 08-09-2010, 02:05 PM

Mike,recieved the aeroquip stuff today .
Thanks again Mac

**67cheby** · 08-09-2010, 02:07 PM

72bb, not yet....SOON must get dune buggie sold, Eric thanks for all of the compliments , hope the hood hinges help , Mac thank you

mac72 · 08-12-2010, 07:36 PM

Mike, done anything about a driveshaft yet?

**67cheby** · 08-13-2010, 01:57 PM

yes i am running a 2piece drive shaft , the rear shaft is a CPP shaft with a slip joint, a CPP billet carrier bearing raised 1 1/2 inches and a shortened front driveshaft

colin_havens · 08-13-2010, 03:01 PM

Mike, where did you get your spacer for your carrier bearing? Mine has a little vibration when I really stomp on it, and I think raising mine a little may help.

**67cheby** · 08-13-2010, 03:33 PM

i had a shop here in town make it

colin_havens · 08-18-2010, 12:56 PM

Hey Mike, I was just thinking... dangerous, I know.... The Relaxed Atmosphere Allstar Event show is coming up in a few weeks, on Labor Day Weekend. You planning on going? I know you wont have your truck there, but lots of bagged rides and an absolute blast, and some of the best built rides (magazine quality, not hack jobs) always show up. I'm taking the 67, just wanted to see if you were planning on going.

**67cheby** · 08-18-2010, 01:02 PM

i know nothing ?? where will it be ??and dates
