    A little trick I've learned along the way if you want to change the motor out without messing up the frame you can take another motor mount with longer bolts welded to the bottom of the motor mount lines up with the holes of the original motor mount and you can bolt that to it and there you go original fine not touched and in perfect condition

  • @AgentWest
    @AgentWest 6 лет назад +1

    Don't worry, you did the fiberglass repair correctly. On something really thin like this V-grooving is not really necessary, especially since there was so much area covered on the back side. V-grove works best on thick 'glass in areas where it has to be even, for example on the outside of a boat hull. Even then a large patch on the back side is still a good idea.
    As a side note, the mat (like that Ike used) is best for contours since it can follow a shape really well. Fiberglass fabric is best for flat areas since it does not like sharp bends (especially if the surface curves in two directions), but it is stronger.

      I was wondering about where it came from. Oh an they started back racing late models an super late models. It was from around 2009 to 2012 dont quote me on the years. It wasn't very long they raced. Dont remember why they stopped having races. Nascar did go and watch those races, to see if they wanted to bring the track back to racing the Xfinity Monster cup and so on series!

I feel like it would add more to your videos and give it a fuller feel because the audience has seen everything that went into the process. love you guys, keep up the hustle as you guys are gonna go places!

    You guys should find one of those real nascar go karts with the Honda engine and a full roll cage and electric start and harness
