frogot to mention the honda motor i bought for $30 at yard sale sold for $80 and bought the powerfist engine the honda had low compression and was hard starting. so really i bought the power fist for $30 so the total intvestment is $140 not to bad just need front wheels and make spindles and tie rods cant wait to finish....
