very nice build tommied i see you scrounged most of your parts, the best kind of build, how many hp is your motor, the scrap yard is my second home.

i machined all the wheels from aluminum, the 10 inch contact wheel is from bee metal, i am building 5 of these, not sure yet what the total cost will be.
