A little Plastic Surgury

[COPPERHEAD42]

Well I started cutting into my new buggy today to hopefully make it a look a little better and different then it did. Its going getting a new paint job after the tube work is finished.
Before

This is with the B-Pillar gone

I stared at it for a couple hours trying to figure out what I thought would look the best and take the least amount of work. This thing is never going to be a great looking buggy its just to big and wide.

I played with the duck tape a little and this is what i have came up with that I think will look alot better and not take a ton of work

The 1st B pillar will start a little bit in front of where the old one started but still tag into the old old bar that goes across the roof and the second B pillar will start where the orginal one started but come in further behind on top.

I can either cut out all the roof above your head and cut out the old eye brow bar or just add another one a little lower

Not sure if im helping it or hurting it but im doing something to it.

Do the eye brow bar lower and keep the upper. Then fill that area in with some dimple plate. Or some lights.

Ya kelly and I already talked about dimpling it or lights, we think doing dimplie work would look better then lighs

Get it!

I still think you can dip that door bar a bit. Not as low as it is and not as high as you have it, you're straight lining it. dip it where the 1st B will hit now and flatten out/come back up to hit the cowl. Its a rec rig not a racer.

I think that Duct Tape is never going to hold up to trail abuse....

Ya I figure ill keep a few extra rolls in the buggy

Start cutting and figure out how to put it back together later :****:.

I think just closing up the "doors", adding vent windows (to make the a to b gap smaller) and paint will make it look MUCH better.

IMO the eye brow does not look bad enough to cut it out and redo it. it's a lot more work for little reward.

Worked on it today. Got the door bar put it, B pilars in and wing window bar in. Started on the eyebrow but didnt get anywhere on it. I agree the eye brow does not look bad enough to cut out and replace. Im just going to add another one under neath the existing brow bar and then plate inbetween them. IMO the pictures dont look great but it looks alot better in person. I think with these changes and some paint its going to look alot better.

 

[COPPERHEAD42]

Got the eye brow bar in today. Pictures dont do it justice this thing is looking wayyyy better then before.

Looks like it's going to be hard to get in and out of it.

Looks like it's going to be hard to get in and out of it.

Ill have to cut holes in the side for your feet but yes its still going to be hard to get in and out of.

 

[blacksheep10]

I still think that door bar should have dipped. 2 more bends but way less trouble once you're climbing in and out. It would have blended the 2 non matching angles at cowl and behind B pillar better

Those door bars are up by your damn shoulders practically.

 

[COPPERHEAD42]

Ya there pretty high but sitting in it, it doesnt feel bad. If i put corbeau's in it you will raise up a few inches so it wont be so high on you.

 

[Bones]

I woulda just painted the whole thing black first and went from there. :****:

 

[Blase]

Is it jsut the picture or is this thing going to be VERY hard t skin??

 

[Bones]

You don't skin this house, you side it. laughing1

 

[COPPERHEAD42]

ha ya the sides are welded on and thats how im going to fill the gap in

I like what you got going on better than what it was but I agree with Kelly a dip in it would look good too?

You get as old as me and you will need those dips :****:
