Welcome to Allmetalshaping Steve!
I used to race VW based dune buggies myself back in the 80's, those cars are a blast. I was pretty amazed at how much fun one could have with a mild cam, 200 thou shaved of the deck of the cylinder heads, and a 45 gallon barrel of av-gas over the course of a weekend.
It would be terrific to see some pictures of the buggies you've been working on. We've got a few guys here who dabble in stainless too, those stainless fixtures sound interesting..
