Re: Sandrail Body’s
Some manufactures do make bodies for their tube bodied cars but most of the frames sizes and shapes are unique to the builder so I doubt that there are too many generic bodies.
Do you already have a frame or are you thinking about buying a frame w/body combination?

Can you post a picture of what you have? There are so many styles of two sweaters out there. Wheel base lengths, seats forward, seats towards the rear, short backs , long backs, evestyles.looking more like a sedan with a trunk just to name a few different styles.

Re: Sandrail Body’s
I did some looking around on sand buggy bodies and found this: http://www.vw-store.com/Sandrail%20Bodies.htm This is from ACME/Barrien http://acmecarco.com/berrien-buggy/sand-rails Notice that on the bottom of the chart there is a glass body availability. Barrien has been around for a long time but a few years ago they were bought by the ACME car company.
I played with several different ways of asking the question including rail buggies, tube buggies, dune buggies (that name also goes with the glass buggies/Manx style of buggy) and a couple of other variations but it seems to be pretty much the same that the bodies: when the arey available they are usually tied to the rail's manufacture. Like with Manx style bodies, it often depends on where in the states you are as well as where in the world you are: e.g., the same thing, different names.

Re: Sandrail Body’s
What kind of file are they stored in? JPG seems to work OK but some other types don't.

Re: Sandrail Body’s
Did you hit the "attachments" box then pick "add files". It will then allow you to pick a picture the hit "save" you want to post then the computer attaches it in the box. This is one picture at a time, not a group.
Then you get "add file" and when you choose "place in line" it will post the picture where your curser currently is (be careful that the curser isn't in mid sentence and that is where it will post. I think I have it correctly stated but if not it is relatively easy to figure out.

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
