haapc,

I can understand your eagerness to jump into this sport, but I don't think members here will give away plans produced by some of the designers yoshi has listed. The plans listed by yoshi are ones people on this board have found some success with building and/or are nicely detailed --my suggestion is if you are serious is to go with a set of plans from Rorty; very detailed and Rorty is always an email away if you should have a question or concern (as are many good people on this board). I don't know what your mechanical skills are, but these plans are not assembly instruction and require some technical and or artistic skill (not that I would posses either). You'll at a minimum need to know some welding and tube bending as well as some fabrication skills (or have access to someone who does). Ask lots of question here and do searches for anything that you might have a question about (it’s probably been asked and answered before in some detail)

Welcome to MBN!!!

I didn't get the impression he was looking for free plans, just info on where to get them...

First off welcome to MBN!

Elmariachi makes an important point about plans and your ability to actualy build a car.

Yoshi provides some resources and I would add buggyinnovations too.

In any case the point is that building one of these is a complex project requiring existing skills or the persistence to learn new skills. Accept the challenge and join the sport!

Welcome also! I might add that the chassis is the easy part.Most people may think the chassis is the most complicated.Not so.If you don't fully understand suspension and steering geometries and principles then a full search of those topics here will be invaluable to you. They are the hardest things and most important to get right.fabr

Haapc, welcome to mbn I can personally attest that there are so many very knowledable people here that are willing to give advice and input for your build. I can also tell you it is very satisfying to build your creation. I have had more satisfaction since taking over my project, however be prepared as Gene said to be willing to relearn old skills and/or new ones. Can't wait to see what you decide to tackle. Good luck

Unless you have done a frame before you may want to purchase a premade frame. You have to remember that the frame is what protecets you and there is lots to know when it comes to geometry of suspension. It is nice when someone else does the hard work sometimes. Good luck

True, but as long as they do it right.
