VT-5 Bronc project

I got this in a trade, tried to sell it, nobody wanted it until I started to work on it. So I'll keep it and make a major hill climber out of her.

Oldsledz may recognize it.

I think I'll go camo with the paint and just do some basic improvements.

I have a 5hp Tec to put on it for now until I find something a little bigger.

Yeah, you can say that again!! I'm not sure how well it will do with that size tire and sprocket.

I got a full 5hrs of work on it in the last 2 days. I just have to add the engine and buy a new belt and I should be set to go.

I'll post some more pics later.

I had to switch from the torque converter to a jackshaft. It should still work okay it was just a cheaper and easier way to go.

I'm going to replace the chain to the rear sprocket and add another chain guard and kick stand later.

It runs pretty good, a little slow, but over all not too bad.
