When in doubt... build hell-for-stout!
As crude as that is, (plumbing Tee fitting in the exhaust) you still had a blast on it, right?
Farm folk. Grandpa & I (mostly Grandpa) made it from whatever he had at hand (hence my passion for scratch built rockets). The motor and wheels came from an old lawn mower, I'm guessing 40's or 50's era?
I bet I put 500 miles on it. I wore the hard rubber tires off... so Dad made weld passes across the steel wheels so I could get traction.
