I believe it started out as one of the vehicles in "Mad Max" !!!
Wouldn't it have been easier to just buy wider tires?

With the small front wheel, sudden stops could happen often. With the way the buggy is set up, that "downtube?" looks like it might gut you!

Some odd buggies for sure but when you can't buy anything and you really want to buggy, that's what you get. I'd be doing the same thing if I were
them!

That was the first thing I noticed as well. I think what is up side down is the side rails. That is a classic mistake in the earlier buggies when you
assembled the rails on the wrong sides of the buggy so the ended up reverse angle and pointed upward like that. If you assemble a kinked downtube
upside down you'll also get a buggy on an upward angle.

I agree snowspider ! I have a soft spot for (decent) home builds. I don't have the skills to do one myself, but constantly tinker with anything and
everything I can ! Lol..
That second one especially is a bit too much though!
