No metal sheet chassis that can cave in and absorb impact shock energy to protect the human driver, instead all cage means broken neck even with dual strapping belt in any collision at even just average road speed. You'd have to strap your forehead to drive this. The seat you put in this is absolutely ridiculous. I mean even driving this with a 20 HP engine (twenty) is suicidal tendencies akeen to walking on a biplane wings without a parachute or doing parallel bars gymnastics on a crane 200 feet above ground. We know people have done that needed their head checked. Putting a s65 in it is not even funny impractical, it makes no sense, it's like combining the disproportioned thinking of a teenager with the ego a peacock.
Anyway.. who knows this event may have been a lucky turn of event for your physical person. I don't think this was an everest climb it was more like climbing the everest drunk and in summer clothes but a minor error crashed the whole project and saved you.
As far as what started the fire in the shop, do you have any clues ?

Joe, Why would you pour salt on the wound? I'm sorry but your post is completely uncalled for.
OP, please correct me if I'm wrong but I was told you're on Long Island like we are. If we can help you with materials for the exhaust, when the time comes please let me know. We have what you need in stock. Best of luck.
