Week Five (the Info)

This week I was unable to work on my car due to being on a hunting trip, but I'm going to explain what I did to get to the point I'm at and the literature I read so far. When I thought of taking English 4 I instantly thought that I was going to build something and something that would go. When I came up with the idea of building a sand rail the first thing i thought was, was i going to design it myself or get plans on how to build one. So I looked on the Internet to see if i could find plans for the sand rail that I wanted. It took a few different of places to find the one I wanted, but I found plans from Desertkarts.com that I really liked. So i ordered them. then the next step was to get all the parts for the car, engine, shocks, gas tank, steering, etc. So I called the man from Desertkarts and talked to him for about an hour about what kind of stuff I should get. He recommended to get a 300cc 2stroke motor for it, but that wasn't enough for me, so I went out looking for a street bike motor. I ended up purchasing a 2008 600cc cbrr motor, witch is a Honda race bike motor with 110 hp. the next step was to figure out all the wheels and shocks. So I went on Craig's list and found a nice pair of sand rail tires. Then I went on eBay and went looking for shocks, i ended up getting 2 8in travel fox shock for the front and two 10in travel for the back. The other things that Ive ordered so far is the wiring harness for the lights and ignition, also i have the gas tank, radiator and seat. the rest I still have to order
