Started this day by attaching the loose wires in the back. It looks much better now.
I have really enjoyed fashioning the 'faux' engine. It has come out pretty much as I envisioned.
But now I will take a rest from that, and start thinking/working on something else.
In the mean time, I have brought the 'faux' radiator out of mothballs.
The grill front needed to be attached permanently, and the corners need some cosmetic work as well.
I mixed up a batch of J B Weld, to hold everything together.
Time to ROAR!
As I mentioned in a past post, it may be time to seriously think about power.
I will admit to being near the back of the line, when it comes to knowing what's what, in this department.
However, I came across this offering, which would really simplify things for me.
BUT, this looks like a really inexpensive price for what it is.
I don't need to get the cheapest, but don't want to pay for more than, what I really need.
A decision needed.
Is this price a good deal, or am I wasting money.
I am thinking strongly, of buying this motor & accessories.
I like all the particulars, that this set up offers.
For my limited knowledge, (working on improving that) this fills just about all my needs/desires. (I think)
And then there's the battery choice.
No guesses on the engine weight, so here's the answer.......26 lbs
With my previous weighing of parts, at +/- 100 lbs, the new vehicle weight total is around 126 pounds so far.
Hoping to stay below 200 lbs.
This motor and accessories, should come in around another 15 lbs.
This is where/what I have to work with.
Thanks to those that have offered advice so far.
Any pro/cons on why or why not to buy this, will be appreciated.
