Rick I saw your message and he uses the seats from a Chevy Cavalier.. I believe 89... I haven't seen anything from Milo in a long time.. I don't know if he has some health issues or something else... Correction, it is a 99-2003 Chevy Cavalier...
That's a great restoration you did there. It looks perfect! I know it's been a while but do you happen to remember where you purchased the fuel cap from?
Nice work Milo!!! I'm in the process of restoring mine. What shocks did you use on yours? Do these buggies have VIN numbers with 9 or 10 characters? That's what I have on mine. These cars are fun to drive. It gets a lot of thumbs up.
Marc Look again when the camera is real close. The word "GAS" is readable when at the front of the Manx. I don't know what you mean by "Backwards" Thanks for liking the Manx. Later
Maybe I should have been more clear. You installed it properly. It was just manufactured improperly. This is a aviation inspired fuel cap. The tab should never move/lift with the wind wile driving or flying. You should have to pull the tab towards you to open. No disrespect. I love your work.
They just fit the interior, but must be fitted to the adjuster correctly to maintain clearance for movement. If using factory GM adjusters use two R.H. adjusters and you will have to use all the mechanical engineering and welding talents you can muster. The mounting legs are cut shorter and angled more for proper sitting angle of the seat.
John The cost of an old Manx plus parts, paint and upgrades will cost close to 20k. That's doing the labor yourself. I know from this from restoring 5 of them now. All old Manx's/Beetles are worn out and improperly maintained. Sure, you can probably buy one for 6K, but, it will need everything and it will constantly break down. Remember, you are dealing with a 45-50 year old chassis and running gear.
I know that, but, the dual exhaust makes engine service a lot easier and you don't burn yourself. The few horsepower lost is insignificant. I like the look of duals.
When you put so much into these buggies, you price yourself out of the market. You better plan to keep it forever. Dune buggies weren't designed to be 20k. and when you don't put a price on it, you waste our time. Nice buggy but for that money i'll buy a nicer classic car.
Your partially correct. Even the nicest dune buggy is not worth 20K. But, an authenticated, certified Meyers Manx dune buggy from the 1960's and early 70's are the rarest and most desirable. Try to find a completed, real Meyers Manx, like this one. It's almost impossible. The last two I sold were a lot more than 20K. P.S. Read the comments below.
Look, by all means its a really nice buggy but I've had a few dune buggies and the fact that they weren't "Meyers manx" meant nothing to me and others that owned them. Love the Dune buggy culture and embrace it. Respect the work put in but at the end of the day, its a VW buggy. Again, your buggy is sweet and appreciated for the work and style you put in. Good luck and good work!
LOL its 2021 now. Wish we could have seen the future when you made this comment, cuz we could have bought a Meyers Manx, they are very hard to find, and $20,000+
Milo, I could never afford one of these,but your cars are amazing ,and you are as well!
this buggy should be in an art gallery, it's beautiful, wish it was mine. well I can only dream. 😀 👍
wow. Color me impressed with your buggy, and your presentation of it.
This Manx sets a great, high standard, and you make me want one of this quality.
Nice to see working wipers
very nice job milo , you must know them by heart now building them ! enjoy
Amazing car .. perhaps you should write a book on how to do it properly. I have a Noble GTO 3R so I recognise the fuel cap : )
I have many videos on UA-cam. Search "Milo Manx dune buggy"
Great build Milo........Can you tell me which seats you have in this? thanks, Rick

Where can I get the side wind deflectors ???
That's a nice ride !!!
Where did you get the side deflectors
Nice, Gm steering colum is perfect too- Very nice Milo just subscribed. Wanting to get the Mrs. into one of these.
Great car! You did good!
That's a great restoration you did there. It looks perfect! I know it's been a while but do you happen to remember where you purchased the fuel cap from?
Search, Tanks Inc. part number FN-AIR I use 2" hose
My dad built one back in 69 or 70 that exact color with a white top and interior I'd give my left nut to find that very car now
Milo on this dual exhaust, do you put any kind of restrictors inside to quiet them a bit? Thx
Nice work Milo!!!
I'm in the process of restoring mine.
What shocks did you use on yours?

These cars are fun to drive. It gets a lot of thumbs up.
Can you make video of you taking one for a ride
Love the buggy bud. But as a pilot looking at your aviation inspired fuel cap. It’s installed backwards. Not a dis. Love the work.

@@marcbennet3932 The tab is under tension, it won't move at highway speed.
Your probably right. It’s still manufactured wrong. Guess we can agree to disagree.
where to get the fuel filler cap?
Price ?
how much is this car to buy
Hi Milo, can I cask where did you get that fuel cap? I love it.
Milo, How much for you to build us a Manx exactly like that and I'm serious. That is exactly what we are looking for.
Where do you buy a kit for one?
where do you find the ID on the bodies? I have owned my dune buggy since 1976
Chuck Meyers Manx Inc. used body tags from 1968 on. It is located on the body, behind the emergency brake, facing forward.
awesome!
I want the dune buggy
What seats are those Milo?
1999 to 2003 Chevy Cavalier

How much will one of these buggies cost?

It's nice to have one, but I'm not financially to afford one. Thanks & keep it up. rgds.

the double exhaust like you have it looses power because of the firing order ,,,,just saying check on it youll see .
I know that, but, the dual exhaust makes engine service a lot easier and you don't burn yourself. The few horsepower lost is insignificant. I like the look of duals.
@@milomanx6531 I like the real experienced answers you give. It helps us make better decisions on our Manx's.
I want one
🇧🇷❤️✌️
