This is really cool that Paul and his team are keeping the Meyers Manx legend alive! I have loved these things since I was a kid. Living in northern Canada, this vehicle was the epitome of California dreamin'. Can't wait to see Chip's finished build...

Very impressive build. Haven't seen a Meyers Manx in quite a while. Wishing the company great success.

Kory built my chassis too! He does extremely high quality work. The welds are perfect and he added custom fabricated parts with the Meyers Manx logo etched into the metal. It won first place at Bug Out in 2019 and VW even posted a pic of it on their website. I'm glad he's running the shop. Fantastic guy to work with!

This was a nice change to the usual ! It didn't seem scripted for ratings or etc. Just everyday people doing their jobs an taken notes as to what needs to be done. While also giving us a nice brief history of the company as well. Thank you as a fan of chip, family an crews. I use to push a dun buggy around that a neighbor let me have as a kid growing up on the floor of the house. It's was green an white. To see the life size version of it irl is really cool.

I remember driving down Laguna Canyon Road with my Dad when I was a kid and seeing all the finished cars in the fantastic colors on Bruce's lot... I wanted one SO badly. Dad even stopped so I could wander around them.

I love the fact that somebody took over Meyers Manx. Bruce loved that little car and it would have been a shame for it to die along with him. I am proud to have a 2017 Kick Out with a 1915cc VW. Also have Airkewled steering box and beam, 4 wheel disc, and shocks. Great company to deal with.

The steering box is from ( Pete ) at Airkewld and the pan is not from Myers Manx but is shortened by ( Brian ) at Washburn metals In Orange CA. both of the great guys and worth steering business their way

In a orevious century the Manx facility was on the north side of some freeway at ( I think) the city of industry. At one point I could not stand it any more and stopped in. The shop was not large, maybe 5,000 square feet. There wS a lobby with lots of stuff that I should have bought immediately. Most of the warehouse was dedicated to Manx kits and frames. The snell was intoxicating (literally). But, as far as I was concerned was in the back. There they had the huge flat plane heater and molding machinery for making the top and bottom of m the Manx SR. I was told that the vacuum table and other molds that were leaning up against the dingy wall were the molds necessary to make a sports car that was called the Panther or something like that. The top and bottom halves that are bolted together.

Come on just rong from the start that chassis is nothing like a 350 and that engine is also nothink like a 350. I can see how this is going to end up looking anathing other than a buggy with some porche look alike parts. If you are going for a 350 bases then start with a 350 replica chassis and run a 4 cam motor mid monted or at leest a super 90.
