My College Project (kite buggy)

duckbeatbarlow - 22-5-2012 at 01:02 AM

started college this year and was told we were doing a project and i could build a dune buggy in a group or come up with a individual project so i decided to build a kite buggy, the image attached is the most recent. this was something i had always wanted to try but never had the cash so college gave me the opertunity to build on for free and keep it so i bit their hands off OF COURSE ! i have designed almost every part my self and would be more than happy to share experience or designs with someone else who is building one.


should be welding the forks up tommorrow and the test drive next week hopefully !
any questions let me know..

This looks like a good start. Have you thought about a seat? Good luck and keep us posted and welcome to the forum.

What is the outside diameter of your pipe and how thick is it? It looks kinda small in the pictures but it's hard to tell. Also, where did you get your wheels? Glad you were able to do this in class! :spin:
