As silly as it sounds, building one of these is a lot more fun than building a car, I really enjoyed restoring mine. They are so simple and not very expensive to restore. I have just about $ 400 in mine, including the on sale HF motor at $ 99.00. The only mistake I made was thinking that more hp would be better..........should have put nothing bigger than 5 hp on it. A 5 would have also been physically smaller and left more room for my legs and feet.

I might fab up some wheelie bars and give it another try.
