We love your car!! And we're in the beginning stages of restoring a 69 manx clone, and have some questions about some of the things you did in your build. Care to pass on some advice to some newbs?

Could you tell me a little more about the build? Tire/ wheels sizes, suspension setup, wheel travel? Working on my Manx and want to make it super squishy travel.

Can I ask you a question about your front bumper an wench set up? Where did you get it or did you make it?

The fab shop that built the entire frame, built the front & rear gages along with a tubuler trailer. Sorry, it took me so long to reply. I don't use You Tube that often. You might find an exhaust shop who can bend tubing in your town.

The custom tubular frame is what gives Das Li'l Beast the stance. There is no VW pan.

The small company in East Texas, over promised and under-delivered & is out of business. I suggest you look for Faron Smith on Facebook who is a friend of mine. He is in San Antonio and a Berrien Buggy distributor. They have frames & bodies.
