Budget rail

<< < (3/8) > >>

Kentucky Mark:
I'm kinda halfway there with a fresh engine

retroboy:
I'm an expert on budget builds and the best advise I can give you is don't get sucked in by all the stuff guys are going to tell you that you need.  What worked 20 years ago will still work today. Good luck and enjoy yourself.

jeff/21:
retroboy is right things haven't changed much except for electronics and EFI which you don't need, you don't need trick parks keep it simple and start with a plan get parts that work together don't over build make strong and light and safe

Kentucky Mark:
I agree completely I want something to run 8-10 times a year that won't break the bank and eat parts constantly

Kentucky Mark:
Can you build one with mild steel tubing?At work we build all our rock buggies with mild steel and it so much easier to work with than chromoly.Im going to get sfi book shortly and a new NHRA book the one I have is from the mid nineties lol
