Here's a pic of Mine,and my father-in-law's buggy.The plan was to build it,and sell it but since my F-I-L started driving it,he fell in love with it and won't sell it.DAMN,he's been offered $6,000.00 and still wouldn't sell! Paul

That seems a little dangerous to have the gas tank on top of the engine.

You must be talking about the Aztec kitkar,as the Red buggy has it's tank in the front.I just sold the Aztec yesterday.Also,don't blame me for the tank.I didn't build it.Paul

Hmm, must be doing something wrong.

Only copy the address of the photo up to the end of jpg, not the ? or the crap after it.

I noticed something right away, your roll cage is higher than your windshield. Most street types have it lower than the glass. I always thought that it should be a little higher at least. Also, did you cut your dashboard to get such a tight fit with your roll bar? I can't decide if I want to cut mine for a tight fit or just move it back a touch.

I bought the roll cage kit from Fisher buggies in Tampa.They build them there to fit the Berrien dunebuggies that they sell.I like it to be over the windshield,as I'm 6'3" and sit eye-level with the top of the windshield frame.We used slide-mount seat tracks from Latest Rage,and had to cut 3" off of the legs to get the seat a little lower in the car.If it would have been a little easier,I would have like to made the seats even lower than they are but I couldn't make enough room for the slide mounts.The cage kit fit real well.We just had to ad some plates to the legs to bolt it down to the pan.I also welded some tabs,and made down bars to the frame horns from the cage to eliminate any wheel hop.It works great.Paul
