I've watched a good share of your videos. I have my own off-road buggy that is on revision 5, or so. Internet forums and KZread videos weren't really a thing when I started, so a lot of trial-and-error in the first few years. You have a good instinct for how to design and build your buggies and I hope a ton of people take advantage of your plans.

Yeah to build something that safely goes well over 100mph you may have to buy some tools that are not from harbor freight. $1600 for a bender and $900 in steel to make a chassis that is proven on dirt and on a race track not only by me but the other VF-1 builders is’t really such a bad deal in most peoples opinion.

Only downside about doing the bike engine is, I don't have a motorcycle endorsement. For me, I'm looking at doing a Ninja 250R, or similar sized bike engine for one of these. I'm not looking to go for ludicrous speeds, but going 70+ or so would be plenty fast on the top end. Even 60 will be stupid fast being inches from the ground.

That 'buying a motor alone" route might wind up costing more, believe it or not. You are much better off buying a fully operational donor machine to ensure everything works; buying just an engine from an unknown source is way too much of a variable.

I sourced buggy parts from a guy who sold plans and also sold a pre-cut frame kit. It was his full-time job and he had a well-stocked machine shop to back him up. That was before side-by-sides (SxS) were ubiquitous. Today, buggy building is a hobby, not a business, because it's no longer economical when you can pick up a SxS for a few thousand bucks. I couldn't cut, bend and ship the frame parts for a price that would satisfy either of us.

Hello Freddy, I live in a larger more established Metro with server steel yards. So I truly hope this help you as well. I've been calling around for pricing and while talking to them I've also been asking if the offer other services like the notching, bending and sheet breaking/ sheering. Many of the suppliers don't sell to the public but there are enough around there that it gives me a choice of where to go. anyways.. rambling on here, some places offer some or all of those services but an extreme premium, sometimes folks were asking several dollars per notch. not bad if you need one notch but definitely not economical for a chassis build. When it gets really expensive are the bends and ever more so when you get multi and compound bends. You can probably do it, but you still need to supply them with degree angles cuts length ect ect for each part. Anywho, sorry for the novel but sincerely hope this helps you.
