Barris Surf Buggy back next
Built by: Jim Garubba (Plastimatic) in Sterling, Virginia
Sometime back (way back), I started a Barris T Buggy as shown on the box. I could never get that version to the finish line. Something about the lines of the body/delivery top combo, which I'd repainted several times, didn't feel right. Rather than give up on it, I kept the chassis around for mock-ups.
Then, I got hold of another kit and decided to give one of the optional versions a go.
I went with the landau roof, but added a retractable awning/skylight, cut from some cheap food container lid. The contours of the lid had a lip that fit nicely into the window frame.
Painted up in a custom Raspberry Pearl.
