Part 2 in a series of building a Meyers Manx style beach buggy on a shortened 1968 VW Beetle chassis in my home garage.
This episode focuses on rust removal/repair and the shortening of the VW chassis.

Neil "not sketchy at all" Steel! That has to be the cleanest chassis cut down in history.

Incredible metal work.. If I were a rich man, you’d be first on my list to be asked to build me a Dune buggy.. I seriously am enjoying this series.

Hi Neil. I found your channel by way of FB on the vw buggy page and I just wanted to say please don’t alter the way you film and edit you videos as I’m blown away by your naturalness to the camera and, way you deliver information to us etc and The pace of your vids is spot on and a real joy to watch (and the lighting levels in your garage are perfect- neither too dark nor too bright, just right).

I restored a Winnie certified '67 Manx that came to me in pieces. The ethos back in the 1960s was build them up as quick & cheap as you can, salvage as much as you can from the donor & go have fun (I think some of the Meyer's ads claimed it could be done in a weekend). Which meant I found myself dealing with 50 year old bodges!

Hey Neil. Another fun informative video. Not sure where you are, but chips seem to be not so cheap across the pond here.

Real nice workmanship . I am currently restoring a Dean Jefferies beach buggy . I know the nice welding you do is mostly skill , but maybe you could tell us about the welder and wire you are using . Thanks

When I shortened mine I cut the rotten frame head off and welded the new one on 14” back, then moved the gear stick and handbrake to match,

I can’t recommend a festool hoover unit with a festool sander it’s amazing at keeping messy jobs clean.
