Sounds like there's been a slipup. If you bought the plans you should get access to the page. But if you got it as a gift you didn't buy the plans.... Check...
Hi Paul, I used .134 thickness for FA-SM-17. Once the FA-SM-17 parts are bent and welded on to the front cross members the strength seems more than adequate....
Thanks Cal I just made my -17's out of pieces of .250-wall square tubing that I had laying around (already has the 90 degree bend in it)--OK, maybe that's...

My name is Eric, I am from Las Vegas, Nevada. I was recently surfing the web and came across the xr3. I really had no idea a car like this could be built for...

Hi Eric. It sounds like you have the skills needed. If you have a computer, then that too is very helpful, since the Deluxe Plans have Solidworks 3D files to...
