Loving the series. Took ages for YT to tell me the next ones were ready and then there were three or more. Binge watch on the go.

Help me out fella. It feels like time has stood still as I’m missing my regular dose of buggy build. In all seriousness I hope you are well and can’t wait for the next build episode.

you couldn't just flip it around and use the current holes? i guess the question should be "why couldn't you just flip it around?" nevermind, was finally able to see both sides and i see they are right and left specific :)

wanted to build one of these for years. zero welding abilities. just bought a flux welder so i could learn. is it possible to get good enough welds with a flux welder to do something like this?

ok they must sell chassis for a fare price and less issues.

G'day mate, did you intentionally leave the LH drive pedal cluster mount holes in the chassis? You filled every other hole., cheers mate can't wait for the next episode, cheers!

Hi Neil. I've watched more videos on a dune buggy build than I care to admit, however yours are exceptional. I have a older fiberglass body, dune runner I believe and a 1970 VW beetle chassis and since watching your videos you have reignited my drive to start putting it together again. I absolutely love your attention to detail and your ability to know and understand fabrication. I'm looking forward to #7 on your build videos. Any idea when you will be airing it? Thanks and keep them coming. 21:50

Hey Neil, thanks for your videos and the explanations that you give on why you're doing what you're doing. I've always wanted to start a project like this but have been apprehensive about my ability to follow through and complete it. You may not know it, but to a layman, you give confidence and resolve to push past the mystery of how to and into the ether of understanding to at least be able to start. I appreciate it. Thank you!

Hi Neil, found your channel and watched all your videos. I'm not really interested in cars but do like highly skilled people showing and explaining to me how to do something I'm probably never going to do. Your a natural presenter, keep up the excellent work. #youtubegold

Stumbled across your videos. Went back and watched them all. You inspired me to drag my Safari fiberglass body and chassis home from storage. I've had it for about 15 years and figured it next in line for rebuilding. My dad had a Meyers Show buggy when I was younger and I always wanted a fiberglass of my own. Not a Manx but it will be a lot of fun. Thanks for the great videos.

I’ve been restoring a beach buggy chassis for about a year. I’m doing final blocking for paint on the chassis right now. At the end of this video you mentioned doing little bits and bobs like blending or rounding over tabs. I never thought of doing that, so I tried it. It makes all the difference and looks quite professional. Thank you, Neil. Top man!!

Another great episode Neil! The switch to TIG for the more finicky parts is something that I wasn't expecting, but makes a lot of sense given the strength needed there and the smallness of the tabs. Looking forward to seeing it all cleaned up and in one colour; that surface rust needs to go!

Great Job Neil. Georgia Mad Mike- watching everything. Shortening Newer pan for my 1968 Allison Daytona Body made in Daytona Fla. Other pan rusted away with all the fun in the 60s - 70s- The Body is crack free but lots of sun fade. newer pan and Rat looking fun is the Goal . God Bless All. Mikey Not mad at all.

👍. Really nice fab work going to look super clean when done. Alittle note on our floor pan lengths. We built into the design they are able to fit 14-15 1/2 inch shorten buggies from one pan. So all you need is to trim the length to suit. Keep up the amazing work.

Great work! Could you possibly help with an overall width measurement side to side at the rear floorpan support struts? Measured on the underside to avoid running the tapemeasure over the tunnel. Thanks!

Overkill = OK! Nice work, there. PS: I'm with you regarding making brackets. I can make one that looks like it's been cut with a CNC machine, just using a 4 inch grinder. It takes longer but who gives a shit about that! I made it, and that'll do me. I'm not churning out a shitload of 'em, anyway.

Owning a beech buggy is an itch i havn`t scratched yet. I certainly don`t have the skill set like yourself. So mine would have to be a completed one. If it was built with half the care to detail as yours i would be happy. Really looking forward to seeing it sand blasted. Then the fun stage, rebuilding. Could that have been a 911 engine under the tarp?😛
