i had a hard time trying to figure out were to put this. i hope this place is ok.
back in the early '60's, when i was a small lad, i was taken by some friends to the sand dunes in glamis. back then there weren't vw or corvairs running the dunes like now. there were some but not many. back then everybody thought horsepower was what would get the job done. most of the time it will but, waterless motors and light weight would eventually win out. most of the dune buggies back then were just car frames with 2 seats and a motor/drive train. some guys got hip and built a little more sophisticated rails like this. what this is all about is, that a friend sold me 4 grooved slicks on rims and i have been thinking about building something like this ever since.
