Meyers Manx Dune Buggy

[b_erwin]

My friend has been building a Meyer's Manx Buggy in his garage for a LOOOONG time. He asked me to build a model of what it will look like completed.  Here are a few pics of the current state of his car:

My completed model includes a few modifications to replicate his car:

1. Reshaped hood with raised center beauty line.

2. Jackman Style wheels (Rears had to be narrowed because the only ones I could find were for a VW Drag car)

3. Seats from another kit  modified to simulate the Miata cloth seats)

4 . Scratch built Exhaust.

5. Scratch built Intake manifold to convert from the kit's dual carb setup to a single carb

I also used Textured paint to simulate the fiberglass chop on the under side

Great looking build. I remember following this as it came together. I'm sure that it will get moved to Under Glass very soon, but thank you for the viewing here.

I meant to post it in the under glass section.  I asked the mods to move it.

 

Thanks

He’s been working on it for as long as I’ve known him....about 20 years. Since he’s out in California, and the state is closed for the virus, maybe he’ll get some time in the garage to actually finish it!  Otherwise, it’ll NEVER get done!

Very sharp!
