Nothing cool was ever built without shedding a little bit of blood.

Steering wheel finished sanded to metal ,clear coated , going to leave it with the patina , give it a little Rat Rod look. Cut a piece of plexiglass for center cap and painted it to tie into the frame.

Have you driven this yet? I want to know how well that "swivel frame" works. I have never seen anybody try that before.

Hopefully tomorrow or so I will get the GoPro, still need some reliable brakes.

Wasn't sure about the swivel frame ,so I didn't finish grinding it. Seems to work real well ,will probably do better when I hit it with a grinder one more time. Before I tried it, I looked on the internet couldn't find where someone had tried it before. So if it works I'll call it the Hardcore swivel.

Quarter ton spring welded with the swivel give it flexibility along with suspension. Just a thought.

I see that. But I think,
One direction the spring will be tensioning and the other un tensioning.
Does that make sense?
What do you think?

Oh now I get it.
I was thinking you would leave the swivel and just use a spring to "dampen" it.

Slow day worked on the throttle cable. Drilled a hole in a small washer to hook to the gas pedal. Used a piece of copper tubing to hook the two cables together ,with the swivel frame I need a little extra play. Used a tornado strap for my connection to the engine.

Isn't that a 212 predator? There are factory connections for a remote throttle. Look between the air intake and fuel tank.
