Hi guy's it has been awhile since I have been around. I have been doing several customer builds and after starting this buggy over 4yrs ago I finally have the desire to correct a few things and finish it up. I have not decided if I will be keeping it or selling it once it is done but we will cross that road when we get their.
I was never really happy with the roof of this buggy. Although it is very strong and I would have no problem going for a good roll in it (once it was all welded up) it just does not flow very well. So now that I have some time between customer's builds I thought I would change a few things. So while my son was down for his nap I did some tape mock ups to see what direction I wanted to go in. I used tape and tag board to get an idea since tubbing has gotten so expensive I did not want to re-do it again later.
So give me some input on the new design!

This is the over all view. The white tape will be the new design. The blue is were the top of the hood and quarter panels are located. The green is the one spot I will figure out as I go since my shocks mount in this area I need something their but I don't know how I want it to look yet.
The blue in these two pic's is what is being removed.
The new front look and the lower white tape is the top of hood and dash so you can see the overall size of the windshield.
New door bars with a lower entry point ( I'm getting old) and a different design for the cross bars for a smoother look.
Then this is one of my new hobbies I will be getting into once I sell off a few toys so I can buy all the tools I need. I have taken a few classes in the last few months from Ron Covell and Lassy Jansen. I plan on getting more into the older street rods and less in to the 60's and 70's stuff I have been playing with.
Here is a link to some of the build. http://www.norcalbroncos.com/forum/showthread.php?t=197
