This was a three generation project. (Grandpa) Sam was our engineering expert; using the pictures from their web site, he drew up full scale plans and instructions for Alex and Jeff to use.� Alex and Jeff learned oxy-acetylene welding, and are the production team. Do-it-yourself ATV production began in September, 2001. |

Disclaimer:� ATV's are DANGEROUS!!!!!� You could get injured or killed riding them or building them.� Your hair could get wrapped around the axle and rip your head off!!� Don't build or ride one of these.� You will burn your hand when you touch the hot metal!�
You may notice that we are intentionally hiding our identity behind this free web site - that's so your nearest living relative can't sue us after you kill yourself on an ATV.� We have no idea if this design is safe, it probably isn't.� Welding is not safe.� Neither are saws and grinders and drills.� Go buy a commercially made ATV, they are safer and cheaper. |
