First off I just became a member today! I hope to learn a lot and get a lot of new ideas for my buggy. I am 26 years old from Franklin Indiana. I have always rode dirt bikes until fracturing 3 vertebra in my back so its time for something with a cage! I think the chassis i have is a warrior? I picked it up for $200 it already had the seats and belts in it and CNC pedals! However the guy who had it before me welded 1/8 steal all over it and had no floor. Here are the pictures of what i have completed so far and a couple from what it looked like when I brought home. Im looking for any pointers you have to offer. Its tough because i have never built a buggy and know little about it! Well I tried to put pictures but it says they are to big? Maybe Im doing it wrong!

I think a lot of us here rode dirt bikes at some point and eventually moved to buggys for more protection. I raced MX until I tore all of the ligaments in my knee. Three surgeryx later, I decided that a buggy was a good idea

Good Luck with the build and work on posting some pics..
