I remember my first sandrail. A Chenowth frame, stock swing arm suspension with Airplane shocks in the rear. It had a beam that we later cut off and installed an aluminum beam. It was run off a Corvair motor that had a HUGE cam in it and sounded like a double A fueler at the drags. It had about 6 -7" of front travel and MAYBE 8" in the rear if we were lucky.

On the other hand, I've seen grown men grab their hearts, fall to their knees as if they have a heart attack, when $35,000 is mentioned. In reality the range of buggies realistically runs $30,000 on up. What is the difference between at $35,000 rail and a $65,000 rail?
