Resurrecting a '60s Buggy! - Full Custom Garage - Automotive Reality

[@dwalker399]

That´s a Ocelot dune buggy body. I had one in my 20s back in the 70s. Which was a lot more fun than being in my 70s in the 20s !

[@kuehjo]

Agree - that's an Ocelot. A very cool buggy version, too. The lines are more flowy than the Manx. That wasp-like waist is too sexy. Definitely love this version!

[@martyreaves4955]

I remember as a kid watching "Speed buggy" and thinking to myself how frickin cool "Speedy" was!! My fave body style for sure!

[@paulhare662]

Cool dog. I have a similar situation. I don't really like cats but one showed up last fall and since I feed it, it's still here. I have to be more careful about what I spill or leave laying around in the garage but it's nice having a companion who does not speak.

As always, you're a man on a mission... it's a pleasure to watch you work...

[@user-vv2ev6fx6g]

I like the Sterling

[@billbong156]

Love the shop dog, looks like a pit pup.

[@My_Op]

I learned the word "cockamamy" (24:38) thanks to Ian's rich vocabulary. It comes from the Yiddish word "kakameh" meaning "nonsense" or "foolishness."

Patti and her husband are real people. Making something for her birthday is something real. And real is what counts.

[@calvincrabtree5397]

Great job you did on that buggies love it

[@davidweidner1675]

Great build

[@Suzie-Q2]

When I shorten a chassis, I overlap steel, aft on the front to make the joint stronger. I also weld on both sides.

[@jeffbradley469]

Awesome I love it

[@garycamara9955]

Dayam those dune buggies are high.

[@garycamara9955]

The Meyers Manx was the first fiberglass bodied dune buggy. I have an article from 1962 on them in Mechanics Illustrated.

[@marcellebaudry5786]

bravo

[@iplaymytele]

I thought that DC motors you could just reverse the polarity and it would run the opposite direction….. Is that not the case with a tow motor motor? ??

[@BillMulholland1]

👍

[@RogerBush]

Aww, the Shop Inspector. 😢

[@Suzie-Q2]

I used to work on corvettes, and I never got the itches from it.

[@garycamara9955]

I like fiberglass

[@DonProve-ol9iz]

Is there a reverse?

[@neilperry2224]

Porsche 356 or early 911 headlights with wire rally covers..... that would be bitchin '.

[@garycamara9955]

There is a reason nobody has an electric dune buggy.

[@kirbygulbrandsen4507]

How can someone buy a Barnacle Bros. , shirt? Could you point me in the right direction? I’d like to get one for a friend of mine.

[@cringram1003]

Lol " Master Metal worker " Give us a break!!!

[@jerralddownie3330]

Don’t grab that roll cage bar if that buggy rolls you will lose fingers or a hand

[@garycamara9955]

Well you ruined it, electric is crap.

[@PieterMolenaarbuilder]

[@Ndbsbsbdbjdjd]

[@martysquires1291]

I almost bought a Meyers Manx dund buggy

[@garycamara9955]

I don't like wastfull shit. Good to see it restored. The man has NO vision.

[@Friskee62]

REDUX...

[@Scott-wl2zh]

Nope

[@erroldawdy3637]

Are you kidding? Electric is SO cool. Way cooler than you….that’s obvious. Build something better. OF COURSE you can’t.😂 Breathe!

[@thomasbuss1118]

Crap electric? No!

[@pirateatfourty]

wow! i just heard about ian, his wife being a rn had him put in a mental hospital. she said he kept running around the property screaming i need more parts~! more steel! where is my welder? my inspectors! they were terrified of him as was his wife. the ambulance came to pickhim up with a large net. he screams! i can make it better! well after he was commited in the rubber padded room they loaded him up with drugs. poor fella snapped, even victor is in the room next to him.last report his wife said he will be there a long time. she said no one can visit him because he now thinks he is one of the inspectors. runs around barking at the doctors

[@RonaldShiflet]

Wow! That was so funny and so imaginative and so clever… Did you dream up this whole story in 23 seconds while sitting on the toilet?Gosh you’ve enhanced my life. Bravo! Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you 1000 times!

[@pirateatfourty]

@@RonaldShiflet well yes and no , someone stole my toilet, rumor has it that ian is driving around the country stealing toilets, and some while people were sitting on them, he scares me. his inspectors are wanted by interpol. they are russian plants. so if you are there make sure that putin is not there. and make sure when you wax ians head make sure to say wax on wax off, or he will cry, id like him to chop the top on my 35 ford 5 window coupe, but he wont talk to me lol i will even offer to not have him put back in his straight jacket, and not do the shock therapy
