I bought this about two weeks ago as a basket case. The list is getting short. I'm real close to driving it.

Done! I can't wait to take it out. I need to build a hitch, and fix the trailer my friend said I could use. Just in time for Labor Day.

Very cool. Sandrails are really popular around here (basically the Reno Nv. area) too. Tons of fun to drive.

There are many areas within a hundred miles of Vegas, and a pretty nice one only about ten minutes away. Nellis Dunes

Rich how's it goin'? good to hear from you. I'm really not sure why I waited so long to get one. I'll have a lot of fun with it I'm sure. I was very surprised at how cheap people are letting go of these older buggies. I couldn't get a decent quad for what I've got in this sandbuggy. Besides I feel at home in this forty year old stuff.
Your friends can't need much, because there isn't much to these cars. lol Let me know if you need anything. I have a ton of parts. I actually bought two different incomplete basket cases, so I have almost a complete car left over.

I took it out both Sunday, and Monday. This things a blast! Being that I just quickly built the car I anticipated some issues that I'd have to fix. Thus far the only problem is that the shift linkage is a little dodgy. I'll fix that , and have at it again

I would've got some pictures, but it was pretty dusty, and I didn't want to trash my camera. Next time out I'll try to bring the Go-Pro cameras, and get some video.
