Got the frame all painted
Tacked front motor mount (rear swaybar mounts from CRX Si). Had to raise the motor in the front because of ----, it'll work out. Gonna build a bar that joins these together and maybe some gussets.
Tacked rear mounts (cut off of bike's frame). Will build some gussets
Seat is going to need to be repositioned so I had to fill in some holes with 'glass

Good luck with that, I hope your engine mounts are sturdy enough for the power, and make sure the engine is clamped down extremely well to the frame, or it WILL slide. You'll also need to change the rear gear (which I'm sure you already know). With only two bearings on the rear axle, hopefully your chassis won't be too flimsy for an engine like that. Other than that, looks good!

Im definitely gonna beef up the mount plate. I am a little iffy on the part that actually mounts to the cart. It's only 2 bolts. I think I'm gonna whip out the ole window weld to give both the frame and the mount more traction with eachother.
Im slightly iffy feeling about my motor mount but if it ends up not being strong enough, I can always make a v2.0.
I started making new tabs from scratch but my drill bits suck too bad to make their way through 1/4" and I got impatient so I used what I had laying around.

Couple more pics of how it sits now. Motor is just sitting there but i am almost done with the mount.
Ordered a front sprocket and a set of used but good tires. Im probably gonna need a smaller rear sprocket too at some point.
