What type of metal should I use fo a dune buggy frame?

Question

I doesn't need to be light.... I want it to be strong. Also what type of welding should I use for it? It will be a two seater.

Answer 1

If you are designing your own Dune Buggy then look up cars in Dune Buggy magazines. Find a commercial buggy and study what they use. I suggest steel round tubing and steel welds for strength. Use several roll-over bars also. An engine in the back will be more efficient as a push type power source. Its traction will be in the back wheels for more control.

Answer 2

you want to build a frame?, use angle iron, it wont give like flat iron would. i made 1 once from the angle iron from a old bed frame, it worked.
