Yesterday was an all day of play with the buggies- But today I did get something done!!! First thing I did was cut off the engine mount I made and make another one, so I had to do all that engine alignment stuff again (engine was too high/not enough belt adjustment). Mounted the engine and went to the parts store for exhaust 90's to modify the outlet- gotta wait till tomorrow for them to come in. Not much on waiting when I have time to work on a project so I tackled the fiberglass tail piece. My goal is to have the body pieces on so the theme of the buggy is complete- what a pain-in -the -@ss trying to get this to fit around the sled engine
I had to butcher it 3 times to get it over the engine and then looked at it in it's original location -not too good. So I butchered somemore & lowered it till I think it looks right. Now I've got to fiberglass all those pieces back together!!!!
Got a 200+lb. buddy to sit in the buggy and I can barely pick the frontend up-also had him stand on the rear frame with me in it and couldn't pull the frontend off the ground. So it shouldn't be a wheelie puller like the sled powered Ody's on youtube.
