Ha ha, my cat likes the project just fine, although my buddy still needs to check with the wife....hoping that goes well. If not, he has an old Army Jeep that would be a back up, although since the goal is to leave everything intact on the Metropolitan, I don't think she'll mind. First up will be building a test rig, and getting the driveshaft off of the Metro so I can get a sprocket attached to it. I looked at some pictures online, and I think it has a companion flange on it, so that should make things easier.
