Lol what am I missing?

Just ragging on your Bubbafied-remote tank and the zip tied air filter. I see the bulky factory tank mounted on the cross tube all the time. Will the tank not mount in the original place?

What is the purpose of that large red plate above the flywheel? If it's just a billboard, well I'll understand 😏

Edited: Forgot the pic with the circled parts:

Oh lol rag away. For no other reason than I wanted something to do that day. It fits real nice in its intended spot. Original plan was to swap it out quickly but.. ya know..

The red plate is a guard in case that flywheel wants to imbed itself in me or remove part of me. I put some sort of shield in front of any flywheel that spins faster than stock.PXL_20260406_222028296.jpg

Talked to my dad for a bit today. He wanted to know the size tires on the VW buggy, so he could bring some down so I can roll it around easier, once I get the drum brakes un-seized.

Just looked up the cost of a fully welded frame, $2585 with the torsion axle already installed. Solid deal I think. Knock down not welded is like $1250. Frames are 1 1/2" 0.095" round tubing, roughly 12ga.

Well thats a nice score. Was that payment for the ride to work?
No, third party gifted.

Supposedly it was locked up. Big cheater bar on the crank. No turny. So it got taken apart. It spun freely and nothing found.
Then lost interest and not needed. So it got put in my truck for disposal.


Looks like someone has a secret admirer!? Hellion knows how to deal with the tapered shaft. He knows what they need.
That dont sound right.

Easy Isn't always the right decision, but an adaptor vs. tearing the motor down and removing the crankshaft. I know you know this, but just saying. :ROFLMAO: :cheers2:
