Nicely done. I'm thirsty. The other projects on your site are cool too... the buggy looks fun. What's powering that thing? |

That is awesome work! However, you might want to check the rules with your state because in Texas you have to have a licensed engineer who works for you full time to have "Engineering" in your title. If not you can be fined and you will have a hard time getting a license later. _________________ There'll be two dates on your tombstone/ And all your friends will read 'em/ But all that's gonna matter is that little dash between 'em... |

To answer a few questions, I do have a licensed engineer on retainer for approving plans when need be. In any event he could be considered "employed" (good to have friends).
As for the buggy its a 1970's GS750 motorcycle motor, the real funny part is after the bike motor it goes into a ATV forward/reverse transmission. So you can actually put it in reverse & hit all 5 gears from the bike motor in revers. I like to say "I can get out of trouble just as fast as I got into it"
Gotta do something to pass the time when the lake is frozen. |

Sounds good. Texas is a little more involved than that. I am not trying to be an azz or anything just watching out for you, I know all states are different. Do you have any videos of the buggy? _________________ There'll be two dates on your tombstone/ And all your friends will read 'em/ But all that's gonna matter is that little dash between 'em... |

Nice power choice. I've always wanted to try to build some kind of buggy. If I wasn't such a lake rat I'd be more into sand than I already am.
