That must take a Jumbo BIG tube of the Testers model glue!

What year did the Manx first appear? Late 1960s as I remember.

Just some Elmers from Lowes got-r-done.

The first Manx buggy's were produced one at a time by hand in Bruce Meyers home garage in 1964. The first 12 were of Monocoque design. Then in 1965 he went into the pan based construction. I will finish this Manx II body and drive the buggy from the East Coast to Big Bear in CA in July 2014 for the 50th celebration of the Manx.

Here is # 7 Monocoque buggy with the owner and Winnie Meyers in it getting ready to go out on Corrola Beach, NC:
