It stops pretty well, steering is ok, but much room for improvement, I'm terrified to do a top speed run, I've had it to 30-35ish, and the front end somewhat floats and hops the faster I go, at those speeds that 9hp isn't even getting started into higher rpm, if I can get it to ride smooth I have no doubt it will do 50+.
I'm thinking about building a dove tail trailer for it so I can haul another kart behind it, I'm sure it's got the power to haul the weight.

Got bored with a few cans of spray paint, not even an attempt to do a nice job but it looks decent, and in true hotrod/ratrod fashon my old gas pedal bolts right to the pedal I installed. Also trying to find my other two skull valve stem caps. Starting to have more of a rod feel to it. Haven't driven it since I did the video so might as well add to it even though it's "finished".
