"Yours are the fifth and sixth set
of plans (R6 and R82s) I've ordered from four sources. I figure if I'm going to spend
well over $5,000 and numerous months putting together a buggy, I'm
better off spending a few hundred extra in the beginning to make sure I
have a buggy I'll be happy with.
Anyway, your plans are by far
the most detailed and complete. Very nice work, from the drawings to the
detailed instructions."

"I do quite a lot
of work for Jaguar and Ford as a welder fabricator
and I gotta say these drawings are of better standard than the other two put
together, thank you this is gonna be some sort of fun."

Don't
confuse this buggy construction manual with the backyard type buggy plans
advertised in the motoring press and elsewhere on the net.
This is not a jumped-up, off-road go-kart, or weekend recreational toy,
but
a full-on, single-seater
racing machine with every aspect of performance, durability, and safety
taken into consideration.
The R6 utilizes proper engineering grade materials – not just
bits of black pipe and old quad and car parts!
These plans have been carefully produced to enable competent
fabricators and machinists to construct a superb racing buggy for themselves
by following highly detailed and easy to read drawings.
More than just a
collection of CAD drawings,
this comprehensive manual
puts bike-powered buggy racing within easy reach of
every
Petrolhead!
The manual consists of the
following:

haven't seen one yet in
