Yep, there will be no welding this weekend. The motor is not fitting in the stock Raptor frame no matter what. I am going to have to totally cut the top half of the frame off and drop the motor in, then build a frame around it. I'm not sure where to go from here yet, I'll have to get a couple of my other Rascals to come over and ponder it with me, then hopefully, we'll figure something out.
I talked to Eric Vaughan, he's the guy doing the front wheel narrowing, and he still has not done my wheels yet. He said he'll have them done on Monday, I won't hold my breath, but you can't rush artistry. I know that when I do get them, they'll be right.
Turkey Rod run is coming up in three weeks, so is Moultrie Show. I'm going to both to try and find some more parts as well as to look for the fenders that I will use to finish off the bodywork. I know that seems optimistic since I haven't even got the motor mounted in nor the frames together, but I know it will work out in the end. Besides, these shows only happen once a year, and I plan on having this thing running next year.
Talk next week, bye.
