« on: October 07, 2008, 07:54:40 PM »
 Im going to be building a buggy soon and want to design my own frame. It will be a two seater with a 600 and a honda trans for the FNR. I want to keep it compact and yet comfortable for two. I dont know jack bout drawing in cad and need someone to help me along a bit. I need to know what program to buy to draw with and need help designing it.

Thanks...

I am a mechanical engineer/cad drafter by trade.  I use Autodesk inventor for all modelling.  If you (or anyone else) wants something modeled then give me some details and I will draw it up.

That's a very generous offer from a new member. Welcome dre.

flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."

Good morning all. I dont see why people get so lost in CAD. Ive been using it for many years now, even way before computers were common place. really it is sooo simple.. I mean CAD (Cardboard Aided Design) may seem hi tech but its not really..... just a good marking pen and a nice sharp pair of scissors........... oh dont forget the nice straight piece of cardboard........

I made no guarantees on the timing or quality of the work :)

Is a win-win as far as I see it as I don't have any real off road design experience...anything that I draw up for people will help me wrap my head around things, sort of gaining experience 2nd hand.  Not as good as first hand, but it is a start!
