Some of the parts I had in mind.
This mount with the jackshaft already ready.
http://www.bmikarts.com/-Motor-Mount...gs_p_1051.html
Not sure on the length of axle yet. I think keeping it narrower will help with turns.
http://www.bmikarts.com/1-Steel-Live-Axle_p_517.html
Axle bearings. Also considering pillow blocks.
http://www.bmikarts.com/1-Bearing-Ki...le-_p_486.html
I think that I can get some golf car rims that will fit these hubs.
http://www.bmikarts.com/Wheel-Hub-wi...re_p_1658.html
Simple drum brake. Not sure about this yet, but we are not planning on a high speed machine.
http://www.bmikarts.com/6-Brake-Drum...le-_p_562.html
http://www.bmikarts.com/6-Brake-Band-_p_544.html
I may want a 72T sprocket to help keep speed down too.
http://www.bmikarts.com/40-Sprocket-...b-_p_1415.html
This is the key part to make it perform well. I believe this is a comet clone.

Can scratch the engine mount with jackshaft. The comet TAV already has one. I can make a mounting plate.

I think our goal is to build something like this yerf dog.

The rear of the yerf dog has a swingarm with the engine mounted on it.

I would like a front suspension like this.

More complicated, but I feel better. I think this is from a yamaha blaster.

A TAV? You're looking to get some speed out of this!

Are there any abandoned buggy projects on CL that would give you a good foundation?

I have been looking on craigslist, but being an hour or more drive from a populated area limits alot. I keep checking for something that may be able to donate parts or use for a start.

Speed. Maybe. I am going to make a throttle limiter. I plan to gear it low too. Fast acceleration is the goal.

I must have missed these.
http://seks.craigslist.org/sno/4209828411.html This one would be fun. Don't have $350 to spend on it though.

This would make a good parts donar.

I sent a text about that one, but no response. I am sure that the no forward is easily fixed.

Lilly has good body English to compensate for the right hand turn.

That's an excellent starting point.
