Yo,

How is going folks. My names William. Im very new to dune buggies and stuff. I recently acquired a frame and it has a few issues, that I dont mind fixing. But one of the issues im having is that the front suspension is welded to the frame. Now, I would just leave it on there and go about fixing up everything else, but im wondering, what if this front suspension is really weak, and it breaks how will I remove it. But whats even worse... How will I put a new one one without any front clamps.

Like I said, Im very new too all this, and I may have allot of questions. The main reason why im here at this site is because I want to be able to do some serious off roading with my buggy. Similiar to what you folks do in yalls videos.

Maybe I should take a picture of what I have to give you guys a better idea of what im working with here. Ill take pictures in the morning or something.

Nothing wrong with welded front beam that a sawzall can't fix. Mine is welded on and a few others are 2. A good bead of weld is lighter than clamps

ahh good point!!!! So having it welded isn't nesscarily a bad thing?

I wouldnt worry about it unless you want powdercoat. If you have to cut it out its tuff to fix powder. Paints more forgiving to repairs.

a lot of ky single seaters are welded in i do believe.. and marty, you better not use weight as an excuse on your buggy! hahaha

Did you say LIGHTER??? Turnin over a new leaf are ya 'bug??
Lighter, cheaper, cleaner, stronger, easier to do, no clamps to go get, less crap to drag, no bolts to work loose.......

That lighter comment was strictly for your benefit Jellydaddy,,, I gave up on losing weight when I hit 50
