I've got a dune buggy & a golf cart, we like to take the golf cart on vacations, but there are some resorts & communities that don't allow golf carts. following your build I thought "This is the loophole I've been looking for" lol. Love it!!

All nice stuff!

I must have misread, I thought the dune buggy was a golf cart.

Is that a Manx, EMPI, or what?

I wondered why you wanted a pic lol. I love my dune buggy, but a golf cart is so much more useable on the vacation...not to mention easier to get in & out of. Manx has a great combo, although if you look up the resorter style dune buggy’s they’ve got open sides & have gotten my attention as well.

What is yours? I like the looks of it and will be buying one within a couple years and I'm getting familiar with them now.

Mines just your typical Manx clone (not an original Myers Manx) running a 1915 VW motor (they are on a shortened VW chassis). You should check out Manx Club group on Facebook, there’s a wealth of info there.

Thanks. I have been a member for a while now. Also "Manx On The Banks."

Thats what I gathered, looks pretty doable to me, you can see in pic 2 with the little kids that it seems about the right length, what a COOL BUILD!!!
