I really don't think any waiver will protect a builder. It is good to have the buyer acknowledge in writing that he knows it was hand built by an amateur. However I don't think that it will hold any weight in a court. Further, assume the buyer becomes a seller. the subsequent buyer hasn't absolved you from any liability.
That being said, I did have the following language in the Bill Of sale signed by the buyer, a 2nd original of which I still keep.
Quote:
The Buyer acknowledges that the vehicle is a homemade vehicle, fully appreciates the risk/danger, that the Buyer agrees to have the vehicle inspected by a licensed mechanic and will have any noted items addressed. The buyer accepts all liability thereof.
In the end, contracts and waivers aside, anyone can sue for any reason. It then becomes a test of how good is your attorney vs theirs.
