Well after the fall ride I decided it was time to give the wife's buggy some love. I have it just about about apart, will be painting it a different color, adding new Douglas aluminum wheels, new head ( valve guides are shot ) new seat belts, repair the front where she hit a tree at the buggy bash, and maybe some lights

just a freshen up basically, but will be a fun winter project

Sounds like a fun project. What color are you planning?

she wants the copper color from the carter 300. its very close to the copper head project trucks on trucks tv

I've seen that color. Ought to be cool. By the way, got a call from home. I have a package from you waiting... Just like Christmas. Thanks!

good, I am doing the suspention in Black midnight metalic.

I would say to give her some more power but she wont use it I cant wait to see how it turns out. Where are you painting it at? You just gonna throw up some plastic?

Go get the motor dipped You know women like shiny things

You should talk to SimSim about his experience with painting his buggy. He did an awesome job. I'm sure he'd lend a few hints, tips, and tricks..

cool how are you going to take the old paint off, you going to sand blast it.

have a feeling this is not your first time doing restoration.

also seen a yellow handle 2lb shop hammer laying by buggy.the 2 pounder is just the wright size to get the job done.

can't wait to see it when its done.i looked up that color it will look sharp when its done.


pud

I will have it soda blasted, doesn't pit the metal and is environment friendly. I will paint it in the shop, just have to move some stuff, have some really large exhaust fans to get what little over spray out. I have a 250.00 hvlp gun so it doesn't make alot of over spray.

she wanted a color that when someone seen the buggy they would know it was her

Pink Every one would remember that
