However MysteryBoy, USE THE FRAME! I had all kinds of trouble lining things up on that build.
How to remove a sled motor and transplant it?

The only problem with that is a phazers bulkhead is aluminum and you cant weld aluminum and steel so it would have to be bolted to the buggy

i hope i didn't hack off too much of the frame. i will weld as much of it as i can to the buggy, and bolt down surfaces that are aluminum.
gave it a good washing, will spray it with some black paint tomorrow.

this concludes the adventure of removing the motor and frame... now back to my project log: "project: PGO bug racer, simplified".

Aw, I just hate to see a good sled butchered like that. Should have drilled out the rivets holding the tunnel to the bulk head, you might have been able to sell the tunnel.

i had to hack that bi-otch up good... otherwise i would have gotten frustrated at how long it was taking. 4 hacksaw sawzall blades and 3 metal cutting discs later - that's what ended up with.
now i hope i can put it all back together again on the buggy...

How'd the sawzall blades do? They should have cut through that aluminum like butter.

Tie rods. You were really thorough when you chopped that up. Is there any thing you didn't hit

Are tie rods not removable by bolts?

They are but can be a pain in the a$$ without a torch if they are rusted solid, like they usually are.
