Spent some time working on the drivetrain. Not much room back there, I think I'm going to have to locate a shorter belt for the tc. Gunna order some parts tonight.. Rack and pinion, belt, sprockets and fittings to fab the exhaust.

His head doesn't stick out. He fits inside of the cab.

Funny you should say that. It is a booster seat, I took sheet metal and made a seat pan to mount it to. Added seat slides and the seat belt is a modified race car belt. My son is small so I figured what better then a seat that is made to keep kids safe in a full speed crash. I just searched the...
