This is a project buggy that I started a while back, and I already have three videos about it. In this video, I make it a functional car. It's a blast to drive!

The body is a 1951 Ford (Upside-down), rear axle is 1942-1957 Pontiac (maybe), front axle is a 1942-1947 Ford 1/2 ton pickup (probably), controls are 1957-1960 Ford truck (maybe Econoline), steering box is 60's Mustang (I think), engine is a Mopar 5.9 (360) Magnum V-8, transmission is 1994 Dodge Dakota 4x4 NV3500.

Here's the links to the earlier videos:

I spent a bit of money finishing it up, but I tried to keep the costs reasonable. Prices mentioned in the video are the actual price I paid at the time I bought the parts. Wheel cylinders and lines came from rockauto, voltage regulator from Summit, and most everything else I bought on ebay.
