Gear it for about 25MPH, load it into the CR-V, head over to Wal-Mart, and fly around the parking lot screaming like it's out of control. All the while having a friend video tape both me and the reactions people have. Priceless!

Plus, it would be the first one on here. I would probably have to cut some air flow slots into the housing underneath, but I want to try to keep it looking like a mall cart, a "sleeper".

Some of you guys with jobs and money need to move by me so there are a lot more projects on here!

[redsox985]

Too bad I don't have 1) the money 2) the space 3) the tools. :'(

I feel like have a contest with you on who can find the most deals. LOL

 

[redsox985]

You'll for sure win who can SCORE the most deals. I have an inconsistent cash flow in and no place or tools to work on this stuff.

You've identified the problem, good start!
Your a smart guy, go find a way to solve it.
That's what separates the do-ers from the wanna-be's...

Being that I live on 1/4 acre, my back yard is about 30x70, then a 15' (total elevation change) hill, then like 20x70 down below ending with a back to back neighbor's fence. There's just no space to expand so cleaning and making use of existing space is the only issue. And space will not remain open in hopes of someday putting tools and karts in that place.

 

[anderkart]

Yep, your right it's hopeless. Might as well just give up.
You'd need to go find an aspiring engineer to solve that one...

 

[Bluethunder3320]

just add a second floor to your yard.

Yah dig out the hill and build carport cover. I got a military shovel you can have. Fence pull digger but has a broken handle. Some metal roffing and some old tires and you have a roof. LOL Or plant sticker bushes and hide all the toys from your wife like I do.

Speaking of deals? I have a $200 offer out on this Challenger Ody. Challenger was a outfit that built these ody's back in the day. Best part is I have the front end already. Not a CL deal but Ebay. With the pile of parts I have this will be a complet Ody if I can get it cheap. Time for a killdozer conversion. I got to stop. This will be my 6th Ody. But if I can keep building these for $600 why not right? There is an easy $200 in roll cage work to me. I could not build it that good. Plus this is a well made Ex Race Challenger. Solid as they come. Will be a fun toy to play on the beach with. Will probably get a killdozer 440 sled conversion. The 40 or so HP seems perfect for the Ody's. Fast enough but not with stupid over powering. Also thinking about making it a flat track racer style. Mean and low.

I need to step into a new world and design and build my own buggy.

If you notice the 2nd pic that the front tube part is missing. The front end I have is a Challenger front end. You just slide it in and weld. They made them like this for fast changes while racing.

If you care here is the challenger parts from 1985 when they were making these. If you can find any of these parts buy them. challenger new what they was doing back in the day. Stoked that I may get my hands on one.

Also some tips to get money for toys. I get all my toy money from buying and selling on ebay. I spend $300 a week yard selling. I turn that $300 into $1000 plus every nice weekend during the summer. Some times I make $1500 plus on a good week. I sell everything as well. My father in law is going to start parting out cheap bikes he can find on CL. He bought a atc250es parts bike and turned that into $500 the first week. Then the slower selling parts trickle in over time. I also buy and sale in bulk pet products that I get my hands on. I am not BS'ing. Any of you can make easy money on ebay. Just yard sale and bum around until you can find some wholesale products. Factory secounds kind of thing. Works well for me. Want to see my ebay name PM me. I can teach anyone you how to make a grand a week if you live in big city that has yard sales. In my state I can only yard sle 4 months out of the year. Starting now. I also have a few dumspters from an aviation plant that pays me well. LOL Laugh if you want but there is big money in manufacturing plants dumpters. If you got the balls you can bring some good change.

Also this is another way I make winter cash when things are slow. I will open a CL page and a Ebay page side by side. I will pick a CL catagory. I like to start in musical intruments or tools. I will go down the CL adds and open say a Korg Syth. The CL seller wants say $200. At that point I will copy and paste the Korgs name and model # into the ebay search page. I search in both active and completed listing. So say I find 4 Korgs WITH SAME MODEL # that sold for $400 average each. I know I can buy and sale that unit for $200 profit all day if it works good. I go down the CL adds until I find a hit. Sometimes it takes a hour or so. But I have always found an item I can make a few hundred bucks on.

I am having my own yearly yard sale this weekend. I got some pics of all my junk out on tables tomorrow. I have some I will post later. But some bettter ones tomorrow. Bigheads yard is always interesting. My whole yard and both driveways are full of junk.
