I started building on the exo-cage for the little buggy for my son. 1-3/4" .120 wall tubing for the majority of it. Trying to get 2-3 tubes per week done so I can make slow but steady progress.

There have been several kids buggy builds that are pretty sweet. The body on this just wasn't conducive to make it a 2 seater. If I had to re do this I probably would have stretched the body and made it a 2 seater fighter jet style.I was down in St George a month or two ago. Thought about this build. There was a family out rock crawling. Youngest two had a buggy sized for them. Super capable, I wanted to give it a try…
The oldest is 7 and middle is 6, they did help with parts of it, but I started it when the oldest was 2. As they get older, I fully intend to get them in on the welding and machining. They are still young, but the earlier they can learn an actual skill rather than video games is a win in my book. Thanks ad Gig' Em!Hi. Both my sons are in Aggieland studying MechE. Nice to see this! My younger son @Cowboy45 is working on a SAE Baja truck at CSTAT. My older son @SipLife who graduates in May this year is in Formula. Both DD cruisers. How old is your son? Hope he got to be part of the build. Its was a great resume booster for my boys when it came time to get into A&M. They compiled all they did growing up.
