I did much of the work in my dirt floor barn or in my kitchen in front of the wood stove while babysitting my new son after work and on weekends. I used a "well worn" Logan lathe, a sawzall, and a Chinese drill press along with creativity and plenty of patience to make most of my parts. The vehicle ran until it rusted into the ground.

Eventually you realize that everything good is a one-off.

I feel your pain. I'm new at this but have learned there is great satisfaction when you pull it off.
