This sand rail came as a traditional VW-powered street rail, and the owner wanted to swap it to a Chevy EcoTec-powered setup. We swapped the trans to a 6-rib bus trans and, using a Kennedy adapter and an Affordable Fuel Injection harness, mated a Chevy EcoTec to it. We also had to lengthen the rear cage to make room for the EcoTec and radiator.

Our 80” Nostalgia tube chassis has long been one of our flagship products. A common question from customers building their own buggies is, “What’s the lead time on a chassis?” We’re proud to say there’s generally no wait—we keep them in stock and ready for pickup. Whether you need a link pin/swing axle chassis for your period-correct early Manx, a ball joint/IRS chassis for your new-school El Lobo street buggy, or even a link pin/IRS chassis for your Sears Rascal, we have every suspension combination on hand and ready for you.

It's , so we wanted to share one of the cool trucks that has come through our shop for an enhanced inspection. Although we primarily became an enhanced inspection station to help our dune buggy community, we also got to help other car enthusiasts legally get their custom builds on the road!

Yet another great Bugs by the River has come and gone! We want to thank everyone who showed up to enjoy the whole weekend of events! Special thanks go to The Eastern Museum of Motor Racing and Greer's Burger Garage, both stops on the Friday cruise, as well as Andy and everyone from the Best Day Ever Adventures crew who helped plan much of the evening's activities and made this weekend what it was!

Preparations are under way and the welcoming committee is out! This year we have some exciting things happening in the fiberglass shop for all of our show attendees! Firstly at roughly 1:30 pm while we are counting the car show votes, we will be popping a brand new Cobalt Blue metal flake Nostalgia body from the mold! We also will have some of our experimental fiberglass parts on display like this pair of side pods that we ran 2 silver metal stripes in! And of course Tyler will be hanging around the shop all day ready to answer any questions you have about the fiberglass process!
