    buggy will be 110" wheel base and still be based off the CJ5 style.

    sneak peak... Rear roof section will be more a family style than fastback

    How does the design go from the bend tech software to the bender? is it automated or is bend tech just for planning and not automation?

    Its just for planning, it shows you were to begin you bends and be able to compensate for for the tube thats used in the bend. Really handy when you have tubes with 2 or more bends in it, so you can mark the tube for all the bends and slide it in the bender and go at it.

    going full buggy is like walking around your house buck naked in the middle of July. Sure it's a risky step to take but totally worth it and liberating in ways some will never know.
