Sandrails/Dunebuggies

Anyone build a sandrail before?? ME and a buddy got a free motor out of a saturn the other day with only 40k miles on it so were thinking of building a sandrail. If theres neone who has built one, please e-mail me at b assproguy07 @yahoo.com (no spaces) just put em there for fte. I have a few questions on cost, parts etc so id really appreciate it.

Chad

I've built a fiberglass dune buggy but never a rail. I used a pan from an old beetle, cut it down 14 inches in the middle and mounted the body. It's my beach buggy and jet ski tow truck.
