Homemade Sandrail?
 
Has anyone ever fabbed a sand rail kart before?
I am student teaching an advanced welding class at a highschool right now, and they want a sweet project. I want them to do a turbo d sandrail... but we need some plans...
We will be collaborating with the advanced electrical class for ecu wiring if it all goes according to plan

This is a learning experience for some kids, so no I don't want it pre-bent I'm not looking to buy a "kit" either, so cut your salesman bullshit. All I want is some plans that I dont have to pay 30 dollars for.

berrien buggy use to sell plans, dunno if they still do though.

also, don't flip on me, you said it was a welding class, not a bending/welding fab class... so i was just trying to figure out what the hell you were going for.

We built one in HS w/ a suzuki 700cc on it, it was bad ass as hell. The teacher flipped it in the parking lot with a student in the passenger seat, the kid was fine but the teacher broke his arm and fucked up his hand. It would easily do 80+ mph, 6 speed rachet style shifter. We used an old VW beetle rear end for suspension.

yeah, i would contact berrian buggy (website is berrianbuggy.com) they are located in Berrian Springs, MI.

that is the only place i can think of off the top of my head. but its for a buggy that uses VW parts. and not honda parts. sorry.

i heard of a company in Arizona that was doing j30's in sand rails, that may help you too.

Retrofitting the honda vs the vw won't be hard, I just need basic frame plans.
