One of the finest examples of hillbilly engineering ive ever seen

theres some value in the vintage cr250 engine..

wot in tarnation

Agreed that is some "special" work, but before I could sign off on it being "fine hillbilly engineering," I'd need Vital's very own shine swilling, ornery, wizened old hillbilly to weigh in.

Street legal ?

That's a decent first try. To big a hurry.

I would used a vacuum fuel pump off my mower and sourced vacuum in front of the reeds mounting the tank low.

Cut the pipe and rewelded to point rearward.

Is the tank just sitting there? You ain't had fun till gas is all over you.

And to be a real hillbilly, you need to be smoking a cigarette while the gas is all over you, or is that a redneck thing. I can’t remember anymore.

I’d give it a go

In 1985 we'd have killed to have that in the garage.....

Something is wrong about it. The slicks are a clue. Wouldn't you have put knobbies on it Dave? I mean, that thing ain't coming out of my mater patch with those tires. Useless at best. Probably fake.

Leave the front alone and put some Carlisle Strykers on the rear and it’s properly redneck fixed. Lol

Looks perfectly safe to me.
