"Maiden voyage.
No glass installed (no windshield, side/back, etc..)
Back roads under the cover of darkness with a streamlight duct taped to the hood.
Improvised moonshine jug as a fuel tank.
It lives! Ear to ear smile and nocturnal bugs caught between my teeth." |

"Auto-darkening welding mask is a decent temporary windshield albeit a bit warm in July!
Backroad rally course ends in disaster as driveshaft breaks at transmission output destroying the tunnel. I now know where the incredible vibration was coming from.
Lost fuel feed line and all fuel in moonshine jug. This thing is a mess." |

"Driveshaft replaced, tunnel and misc sections of body cut out and rebuilt.
Still on backroads but now it's licensed! Windshield installed - no other glass in yet. Dynamo won't carry load of all lighting. Pulls to the right. Front end hops during a tight parking turn. Another vibration (engine side I think).
First real maiden voyage with any miles past 45 mph, windshield is great!!" |
