First.
Get a FREE Photobucket.com account for your photos.
Take pics of everything you can - detail wise - on the buggy.

Second.
Then describe everything you can "unusual and usual" about the buggy.
See first tip for what to describe.

Third and most important.
POST IMG links to the pics in your message.
If we can't SEE it we can't ID it.

Thanx,
John

Once you have posted your pics and described the unique features of your buggy, give our "Buggy ID" process a shot.  Its not 100% complete (and will never be), but you may get lucky.

If you like looking through buggy pictures & want to try matching yours on your own, take a look at John's collection by model in his Dune Buggy Models gallery on photobucket.

There were a few manufacturers who tried to id their bodies, god bless em !
Here are places to look - you may get lucky

Often a business card was glassed into the body look under the hood,fenders. A good trick to use if you find one but it is obscured by paint/dirt is to use cold type oven cleaner. It takes the paint right off.

Sometimes a name was molded right into the fiberglass try looking for raised or indented areas that may be hidden by a crappy paint job.

A faded area where an emblem may have been could be identified by our team.

Id tags could be anything from a sticker to a riveted on plate. Look above the clutch pedal, above the tunnel access plate - even dash tags have been known to be used

Hi, just purchased this little purple buggy.  It was recently built and is very nice, everything seems new.  I searched every picture on the sight I could find, but found no buggy's with full cut down sides.  At the moment, I only have these two pictures, and have not been able to crawl all over the tub to look for a manufacturer.  Please help!!

All solid colors have and S after the numbers
Metal flake colors have E after the numbers.
