I Cant. I basically signed a statement when I bought them that I wouldn't disclose plans. :( Sorry about that. You Understand.

The plans are only $9 on ebay btw..

Nice color scheme BB. I have those plans. I printed mine out when I got them. I lose stuff on the computer. Also, that way I have a hard copy for the shop to go by. Still haven't gotten around to buying the steel to start on it . Maybe one day......

The plans are not on the net, they are in my head :wink:

It's nothing complicated, really. I just sat on a computer chair with a measuring tape and figured out what the basic dimensions had to be to make it comfortable. Then I built the whole thing around these measurements, based on the items I had collected, while keeping it small enough to fit in my truck's bed. Forms follows function, as they say.

The most important thing is to have all the important items (engine, clutch wheels, etc) before you start working. This way you can make sure everything fits together and you don't have to go back and hack the pieces you just welded. Changing something on paper is easy and costs nothing!

I just bought those plans off ebay as well, Looks like a fun project but the thing I don't like about the design from what I can see in the picture is that a single arm is used for the from suspension? I think you hit something light it would bend that all outta whack. I'm thinking of a double V wishbone style like a real 4-wheeler uses, otherwise looks like a great project!
