No chain drive, because it has a Honda Car 5 speed tranny in it. It should haul with the 600cc motor.

I grew up in Bartlesville Oklamoma a town of about 50,000 back then, 1955 to 1963. There were two of those in town along with an Izetta and a Meserschmit. they would often go racing with each other. not one of the cars with over 40 HP. Laughing emoticon Very cool little cars, and i mean little.

Looks like you have almost some of the parts but does look like a fun project. I'd give it a go, but don't think I have the skill to get it back on the road. Keep us posted. Hope I'm alive to see it finished

Sincerely,

Chip Foose
