I work as a metal fabricator and welder.  I enjoy building anything that you can drive, ride, or fly.  I have built a couple single seat buggies in the past and have just completed a two seat buggy with a Yamaha FZ1 1000cc engine.  My shop consists of a CNC plasma cutter, a Miller TIG, a Lincoln MIG, tube bender, metal lathe, and drill press.

Thanks. I have a lot of pics from building the buggies.  I guess I will post some of the completed ones and then make a project log.

Thanks.  Those single seaters were from about 8 years ago.  I had to look for the 3 1/2" floppy disks they were saved on, thats how long ago that was.  I havent looked at those pics in a LONG time. Its funny how as your experience changes so does the car.

That is a damn fine looking boat cover you got in the background of the desert kart. I bet the boat under it is equally as nice. From the shape ill bet its fast. Oh...and the buggies rock too man. Im in Texas also. I live in Waco. Give me a shout sometime.

Oh the boats? We used to race boats a few years ago and those were some that we had.  The white one was a 19' Eliminator Daytona.  It had a Chevy 454 bored .030 over dome forged pistons with Isky Roller Cam, lifters, and Roller Rockers, Weiand high rise intake with Holley 850 double pump carb, Eagle forged crank, all balanced and blueprinted! It used a Dominator pump for the jet drive. The bottom hull was speed coated with a Kevlar composite to reduce drag.
