Great for Beginners!

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 but lacking information

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.
