i hope so.. cause i plan to.. lol..

i dont see why not..
what i would do, and plan to do, find a thrashed quad frame with decent frnt end.
Use the front suspension, hubs brakes etc, make use of the rear swing arm axle sprockets hubs brakes etc as well.. find one with a cooked engine and all that... should be able to get one for like 2-300$ if you bid your time and keep your eyes open.

and then mainly metal to fab the rest of the frame etc.. at least thats my plan.. lol

and if you change your mind, i'lll take the engine off your hands.. hehe

Here is a buggy about 6 hours from you?

Needs wider axle and looks long. Wondering why he even used the Ody frame??? Probably a really good deal if it is well made and drives good.

sand rail single seater custom built oddessy

hey i have built a custom sand rail out of a honda oddessy and a yamaha warrior so it has full a arm suspension in front
and a full swing arm suspension in the rear... the motor is a 350 and runs excellent... I built it to keep for summer riding but
I have decided to sell now to get some cash to buy a new truck... give me a call or text if ur interested or have questions...

this last spring when i was hunting for a quad i came across this super awesome go-kart, but more of a buggy type of thing.

long travel, IRS, and a good engine.

I didnt realize how good of a deal it realy was back then, else i'd be rocking it for sure.. but then once again there was that concern about my extra long frog legs...

I wish that add was still up.. id take out a small personal loan if i had to to get it now.. realy kickin myself over it. sighs.. Oh well.. jus have to build something better.. hehehe

didnt notice you were out on the island i got a few friends and such that moved out there..

I realy do need to make a trip out there one of these days..

theres gotta be good deals and like atv/cycle salvagers and such.. like auto wreckers for machines tho.. lol

I'm headin this weekend to go scope one out and see if i cant find a frame to get started with.. lol its just outside of edmonton, on stoneyplain road...

yeah that buggy looks kool...but myns gunna be wider wheel base and smaller chassis hopefully....

omhoping to keep mine aproximately quad size.. maybe a bit wider than an average quad, but meh..

partly because i want to simplify my life and use a quad rear suspension etc, but also because some of the trails etc I hit have places just wide enough for a quad. Also, I still want it to be able to fit in the box of my truck.. I flipped hte rims on my quad to sorta widen it.. and its wider thatn the dingos are.. I dont think i'll have a problem at all..

the buggy I seen was..well, one of a kind, cant realy describe it.. but it was everything i'd want one to be in almost everyway i can think of.. lol

meh.. oh well..

I just cant wait to see your engine dropped into something.. thats gonna be killer sweet!

but realy take your time on finding/building something so its right for you and what you want.. it'll pay off big time in the end!!
