Welcome. There's good home built section of this forum with plenty of helpful members - Don't be afraid to ask quesrtions. The locals just don't know any better and will be jealous when they see your completed ride.

Were to start i have an odyssey for parts and an old snowmobile motor . Now i dont have a lot of money to put in to this so a lot of my parts are going to be used witch is'ent a problem for me l like to junk yard hunt (car,motorcycles) Im a mechanic so i have tools just not all i need yet but geting there just bought a milwaukee bandsaw on ebay at a great price . The only tools i dont have yet is a tube bender or notcher . Im going to use my own plains and mix and match parts. So any thoughts or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thats a great buggy Jabo i want to try for a four wheel idependent suspension to . The only thing i think im useing utfrom the odyssey is the rear and maybe some steering part . I want to start with the rear and work forward that may sound weird but i see that as my bigest obstacle. What i want to do is cut the odysseys axle short and weld yokes on both ends and use front drive shafts from a tracker or s10 some thing small and front hubs from a chevy cobolt or storm they have four lug pattern like most atvs but the rear brake rotors and caliper from the same car just need to fab knuckels and a-arms . I will try to post pic as some as i get started mucking it up.
