Rick, I helped my brother build a dune buggy out of an 67 VW. We threw away the body, cut two feet from the middle of the floorpan and welded up a buch of very thick wall pipe. We got the pipe from a demolished prison. This pipe was no water pipe, it was stout. The finished buggy looked like two inexperienced kids weleded it together. We used to bounce it off trees for fun.
Anyway I was driving it on the streets of Alabama in the mid 70s and it was street legal. Some doufus pulled into my lane expecting me to hit the brakes and let him over. I did not budge and he finally floored it and speed up to get in front of me, but he ran out of raod and scraped the entire side of his car against my steel pipe fender.
It tore a huge gouge in his car. It left some of his paint on the fender but it wiped off real easy. The great news is a cop was right behind me and saw it all. The cop could see I had no damage and said it was not my fault so I could go.
