Junk Yard Turbo buggy

I built this buggy with a mild motor to tool around in up in the mountains of N.C….then later with a move back to Fla. I met some new friends over at Lo Cash…then the turbo came into the picture, many carbs were used until I fell in love with the SU carb …a roll cage was built with help from Lester and John and raced often with 12.30 @ 102 mph being it’s best…here’s some before, during and after shots…oh it made the cover of a dunebuggy book and Ultra VW magazine article too, check out Mike Key (photographer)….the car has been sold off to pay off a few bills but with always be in my heart

Early on I built this 1641 with a Zenith for it but had a problem with low oil pressure so I removed the motor from the blue car to install in the buggy…the other picture here is finishing up on the pan/chassis work down on the side of the rode below the house

Some racing shots… against the MG, well I got spanked, I did beat the Chevelle though, next you can see the Zenith 32 NDIX carb standing tall and proud, oh and my favorite….in front of the Speedworld wall (thanks John cool pix)

Here’s a few of me and Lo Cash fabbin the roll cage, we built a basic 4 point cage to race at Jax Raceway (R.I.P.) then I finished it up at home, and painted it green

Well after all this I had to have some flash (bling to you younger fellas)…I taped off a pattern and my buddy Rob Milich did his magic

Here’s a few pictures from 2003 I found off my old site, the first is from the Lakeland race above and the second is in my carport with the T bucket buggy I was building

Then finally I found this old picture with Locash John and Lester…it’s around 2002 (note painted steel wheels)…another Lakeland event
