Looneybins southern buggy "BuckWild"

[looneybin]

Ok after hours on youtube and watching a few builds on here i have to build one. My own design inspired by the crazy sobs in tennessee. Naming it "BuckWild". I have pics to load and post and i lot to mention so stay tuned. At this time the chassis is near complete but i have a lot of cleanup to do and then paint.

Thanks guys i have about 4-6 small tubes left, seat mounts, and the shock mounts to braze and then i can do final brazing and clean joints. This was a real endeavor. I saw all these awsome buggies and at first thought they were odd looking but after a while i realized how much work is envolved in each one. They really are a work of art. I had to try to build one. I have about 16ft of 1/4in and 3ft of 3/16in tube bent up in this thing. It was fun just wingin it on the design. Hope i can do it justice in the end.

Any thoughts on color choice?

Get metal gray! I saw some stainless steel colored paint at the parts store the other day that looks tempting, nice job and welcome to the club!!
