I thought it might be helpful if I also shared with you three (in my opinion) very important books to have in your shop. I use these guides as a constant reference going through my sand rail buggy build.
- #1 Haynes VW Beetle & Karmann Ghia Automotive Repair Manual – Since the foundation of building my sand rail buggy relies entirely on classic Volkswagen power and parts, this guide is invaluable. ISBN# 1-85010-729-7
- #2 How to Build a Dune Buggy by Earl Duty – The author covers many of the same steps I will be using in my build. I am choosing to do a few things differently than he had though. Great resource! ISBN# 1-880524-26-0
- #3 Baja Bugs & Buggies by Jeff Hibbard – This guide is for those folks out there who want to build more of a heavy duty off road racing vehicle. The authors goes into beefier suspensions, longer trailing arms, tire combinations best suited for off road, chassis frame modifications. ISBN# 0-89586-186-0
