Nao espere muito deste livro
| Customer Rating: | | Se voce esta procurando um livro que ensine como montar um "gaiola" ou "dune bug", esqueca este livro. Ele fala muito sobre motor, freio, etc. Sobre a estrutura, ou "frame", so da algumas dicas de como procurar para comprar. Ridiculo ne ! |
Great for Beginners!
| Customer Rating: | This books starts with laying out the steps needed to build a buggy from parts, including a list of tools and some idea of the time it will take to complete each step. Not all the choices he made will be the same as my project, but it did break it down in terms of what order things need to be assembled, and what sort of work would go into that. It helped convince my wife that the project was reasonable with the skills and tools I had.
I did not like the fact that many of his solutions were to find things at swap meets and "the local buggy shop" - not every beginner has easy access to these places. This does not detail how to build a frame, or shorten the floor of an existing Beetle to mount a fiberglass tub (Manx style tubs are not even covered, but all the other sections still apply). The book is focused more on people who can't/won't weld (a plus to many people).
This is not a stand alone text for building you buggy, but it is an excellent place to start. |
Good book
| Customer Rating: | | I am from Mexico and i has dont reading that book buit these look so great!!!! |
Good but lacking information
| Customer Rating: | As the title says "build an dune buggy" are lacking the words "without build the chassis". This book describes the
process on building an dune buggy only conecting the parts.
There are lacking details about build the chassis.
Overall this is a good book. The chapter about the engine
is very good and teaches you how to overhaul the VW air-cooled
engine. There is a good section about brakes. As a reference
book I recommend but this book isn't it for build an dune
buggy from scratch. |
Far too basic to warrant a whole book!
| Customer Rating: | Baja Bugs and buggies is the bible of building a dune buggy.
This book is less use than the haynes manual.
There is no detail or any usefull tips unless you count pictures showing which way round the gearbox is installed.
It does however show that it is possible to build a dune buggy with all stock VW parts and no welding ability, although it is the ugliest dune buggy I have ever seen. |
