Welcome,
The photo on the left was the original buggy that Brent fixed up many years ago. We started with a very nice car but Brent wanted a real Manx body on a custom tube chassis. So the project was soon on it's way when we sold the EL Lobo body and stripped all the essentials of the stock pan. Next was to locate a safe but reasonable priced after market tube chassis. Brent found Dave of Manxchassis.com and asked him numerous questions of why he should purchase his design. After visiting his shop and seeing the quality Brent purchased the tube chassis.
Next was to rebuild the motor but the 2180cc wasn't big enough for Brent. So Brent had Kustom 1 build him a 2232cc and along with that he had Rancho Performance Transaxles go through the tranny and fresh in it up. Brent installed a CB Performance fuel injection system.
The Manx body had the holes filled and the lines sharpened by Nacho who also painted the body with the color Blue. The Roll bar, bumpers and rims are painted Audi Monza Silver. Brent is hoping to have this car ready for the 2014 show circuit.
