You sound like you have ALOT of questions regarding rails. Motor, wheels, front end? .... Those are some rather large components. What were your actual questions about these things? :2gunsfiring:

You can't build a rail for pennies or next to nothing. I suggest you just wait and buy a completed car when you have the cash.

Nobody is going to work for free. You expect to get paid when you go to work and anybody doing fabrication work is going to also. The only way someone is not going to charge for labor is for you to do it yourself. If you have never done it expect it to be expensive. About the least expensive way to do it is build a baja. You can start with a stock bug and then upgrade as you get the money. Just remember you can take a desert car in the sand but you can't take a sand car in the desert.

You do seem to have alot of question about large stuff. If you have never build a buggy before I suggest you don't try it may to overwhelming. Maybe think about buying a roller or all the components for a roller. Then put it together.

How old are you? You sound like a kid. Long Travel buggies are very expensive. Getting the car is just the beginning. Actually that is the least expensive part when all is said and done. Just maintenance,repairs and fuel are expenses to be dealt with.

Here's something for you to do. Pick up a Sand Sports magazine and make a list of everything you need to put a buggy together and then you can get most of the costs of everything out of the magazine.You are looking at a minimum of atleast 10 grand for just the motor and transmission. You will be suprised how much more cost effective it is to have a buggy built or even better yet buy a used car.

There are alot of really nice used buggies out there at extremely good price.

Just go get one a checker that would work for you since I doubt you have fundage to get a dual sport car. Do you even have a drivers license?
