My uncle first built this in 1968 and gave it to me years later.  I tore it apart to make changes and then got a job transfer and had to sell it.  Always kicked myself for selling it, but stayed in touch with the buyer Lode B who just sold it back to me.  This is one that f 10 that Dean Jefferies personally pinstriped. 

Thanks Loyde!

That's very cool that Dean personally pinstriped it and it is still on the body.  What is your plan for the buggy now? Paul...

Paul,  I've already started disassembling the pan to shorten.   My plan is to have it on the road again by spring, and salvage the metal flake finish and pinstriping as best as possible. 

Loyde, I realy appreciate what you did.  It means a lot to me and my family.  Thank You! Please do stay in touch. 

Steve,
You might try this new product I just came across recently.
I have not tried it yet but would like to see how well it works.

Your body looks like a great candidate for it.
It restores the shine without repaint.
Brush it on wipe it off.
Made for GRP Fiberglass gelcoat.
