the engine isn't wrecked just the plastics, i'm all good.

No i never had the original engine. Just the rolling chassis with no fenders.

Found a wrecked CBR 900 near to me. Might buy that for $600.

i talked to the guy, he said its fine, just needs body work and a new windshield.

yeah i got a few things laying around that i need to sell, should total up to about 3500 but of course not all that is going to the buggy. Im just using some for good seats, engine, and diamond plate floor! where should i get a street bike engine and what do i need besides carbs and all that...

Hey guys, just letting everyone know about some of my other vehicles. I have an 04 Honda CRF150F that i'm trading for a project 1990 GMC suburban mud truck. Straight up trade even though his should be listed for more LOL http://desmoines.craigslist.org/cto/2425909440.html ^Looks sweet right?!^...

Yep, i'm fine with that, i'm getting 1.25 OD * 0.120 wall thickness for 2 bucks a foot. I called my machinist, he said it wouldnt be a problem, i just have to pay the material cost plus 15 bucks. I went out and fount a PTO shaft and hub. Progress will probably stop till after this weekend.

also would trade all this for a motorcycle engine for my mini buggy project. 500cc or bigger. Would like the complete engine, carbs starter, electronics if possible. Thanks!

Hey guys! anyone interested in an 84 odyssey fl250 rolling chassis? Has new AMS rear rims and nice tread on all 4 tires, black rollcage, blue frame. The fiberglass floor is painted with truck bed liner... Asking $500 Also one of those blue honda clone (Jiangdong) 13.5HP engine. Pull starter...

what part of it did you think i would say? lol i got the main idea, and I am advanced at welding for my age. I work for a welder. And i know a machinist. Im in pretty good shape!

Well this is certainly complicated for a 15 year old LOL but i have PTO shafts coming out my ears from all the farm machinery sitting around, and one of my best friends dad is a machinist! Pays to have connections i guess! Thanks so much to all you guys for all the useful info

Hey thanks wingnut. I am wondering how to put a sprocket on the cv joints. Any how-to on that subject?

Hey fowler, did some research, turns out that VW Beetle CV axles are the same as the Porsche 930, only cheaper :D I have to take a few loads of scrap iron (farm machinery and what not) to the local auto salvage so i'll ask them what they have.

Hey s10, how did you connect your 2 drivers side CV axles and get the sprocket on it? Thats the trouble i'm running into now.

At first glance i thought that said super stealth so it can beat a Ninja (kawasaki) LOL good job though!
