Next item I need before I can start the thing up is a fuel tank. Since I don't have one just lying around - I'll make one! I'll use 18g. galvalene sheetmetal,a fuel cell cap then figured out where it would work best and measured up what I needed to get a 2gal.+/- tank. Sorry the pics are dark- the shiney thing behind the steering wheel and under the faux hood scoop is the tank. Worked out well- fueling from the front away from the hot engine,well protected from damage and still left good leg room.
Tomorrow it's back to the exhaust. I went through the motions of changing the belt and I'd have to remove/take loose the exhaust- that's not acceptable. I had a brain fart and figured out a way to support the whole system with the motor so when it moves forward or backwards it all moves together. Simple relocation of the can muffler and making some brackets- Next thing is a radiator and where to put it?
