Running for the first time

The intake path and exhaust 180° bend

Exhaust path going... Forward. On short notice that's the only direction it could go.

Ah, the fuel tank. And the battery charger.

Throttle worm drive clamped via custom bracket to the steering column

Starting is button free, just touch the wire to the battery post... Fuel filter and oil filter just ahead on the frame

Yes, it really did run. The front right tire was a bit low, hard to steer. Check out the overflow tank for the radiator zip tied to the brace in the front grill area

Shifting was difficult (not quite aligned) til the roommate modification came along.

Ah yes, old pallet wood, a ratchet strap and drywall screws go a long way towards making it easier to figure out which gear you are in.

And with the bodywork back on in the driveway...

At this point it all seems almost worth it.
