Not a problem. Seen the pictures you posted already. I would first check the welds over and make sure it is sound and SAFE before you get much further with it. Don't be in a hurry and make mistakes that will cause you more time in the end. The only way to learn is by asking questions and getting your hands dirty. What type of riding are you planning on doing? Make the buggy fit that and safely and you will be ok. The Wild Kids |

Welcome to the world of Offroad Buggys. Based on mine and a lot of other guys here experience's what you start out with is not what you will end up with lol. I will say if you can swing it (pun intended) convert to IRS rear supension for starters. I ran swing axel on mine in the beginning and I did not like it much. |

Yep, I can remember when I built my first buggy (over 20 years ago). I started out with a 902 Berrien and welded it with a Lincoln AC stick welder with 6011 rods... It actually held up pretty well, but stayed in the air. My advice is to start out slowly and dont climb anything you are not comfortable with. Work your way up slowly. If you see a buggy that does really good, take a look at it and ask yourself questions... why, how, etc. Look, and learn.... |
