Don't believe the hype. They are all about the same from Appletree to Whitehill. Tube framing is all the same just depending on material type and wall thickness that you order. Mechanics is what really makes a buggy. Powerplant ,tranny, shocks and suspension.. Everything else is just icing to make it yours. I have a 1914 vw powered Berrien Buggy frame and if I were gonna get what I really wanted I would get a mazone or short sand cars with a 1 liter or better bike motor. And I would buy someone elses used toy and let them take the cash loss for the build.
