Dave-co 5/1600 here is some shots of my Baja you asked for hoser, very very proven simple design, very lite but strong, most of the cage is 065 4130 except the main hoops are 095 as required by Score and Snore, More Best in the dez etc. Bob Geise supplies the Engine, he built many a Baja bug in the 70s and early 80s, then got scooped up by Toyotas TRD, and was the builder of Ivan Stewarts Toyota Trophy truck engines. Bob just recently retired from TRD and has started his Vw
Engine building again. Bob is the originator of the oil cooler scoop found on the top of my bug and a great many class 5 and 5/1600 cars have run this scoop over the years. I personally think it is ugly LOL but it does the job very well. What ever you see in metal including the front trailing arms, the spindles and rear arms were all built by me in my garage and I have several dozen sets running on a lot of Vw based race cars. Some have all the money to buy what ever they need, I never have been made of money and had to desing and build my own things if I wanted to race. Also posted my 1600 pre run car up on my buggy rack I built onto my 89 F 350, I did all the aluminum as well as the chassie and suspension, you name it I made it darn near. Also is one of 3 of my 1600 race cars, I bought the red frame and did extensiveness to it and have had great sucsess with it over the years in desert racing. The little buggy sitting on the cement is strictly a short course 1600 car or as they call them now single buggy. I bought the car off of a friend and have done nothing to it as yet. Hope you enjoy the shots, one car I dint photo is my 2 seat 1600 because it is tied up under a tarp.
