Hi names John, this is my first buggy had it for couple years now and love it. Figured i would show everyone what i got, its for sure a build on a budget, so i try to make as much myself as i can. Not sure the make of frame could be homemade its 1inch and 3/4 tube. Its got a 1641 and three rib, 2x3 bus to bus rear, 1 1/2 x 3/4 kingpin front with homemade spindels. Here it is and all input is greatly appreciated.

this is close to how it was when i got it

Thanks everyone appreciate the comments, I tried to build it to be as tough as I could but keep cost down. So far holding up good.thanks Rick I take pride in my welds and the small details,and for the record all my fab was done with a grinder and cheap bender ,and a good 220v gas mig welder, don't have it in the budget for a good bender yet.

after pics i added removable skid plate and more pipe to protect heads, also i have been running a 1835, witch had dual carbs but i ended up running my 2 barrell holly progressive, its a lot better now compared to running that 1641, I hope to never have to go back. Its nice to not have to ride the clutch up hills anymore lol
