The first one... Pretty hot... My boss will probably like that... He has a Manx...
The 2nd one... ehhh... too much like a 914...
The company I work at used to make the fiberglass bodies for thoes vw based cars. They still have some that are laying around. I've always wanted to build one. The molds are still there too. I'm trying to scrounge up enough scrap carbon fiber to make it happen.
Aha AHAHA HAHAHAHAHA..... never make them perform.... giggles.Dune Buggies aren't about performance. You can NEVER make them perform. They have swing arm suspensions, really horrible link locations, and horrible body roll. They are also like 80/20 rear weight biased. But some are marketted as "autocrossers". Back in the 70s, it was a really cheap way to get onto the track. And in the 70s your daily street cars were complete shit for cone-avoiding.
What he's done here is nothing short of amazing. The chassis (Which is shit) is dropped and channeled to get the weight lower on the .. frankly.. ancient suspension design.
Regardless of horsepower in the engines for dune buggies, the thing only weighs 1200 lbs (or less), so you can do anything you want with only 50 or so horses.
I NEED to know this company. I have a few mold ideas and lessons learned. Hit me up, either in this thread or IM.
