I've since worked out how I plan on bagging the rear end of the frame. Here's some progress pics of the rear.  Obviously nothing fancy, just used mostly 1.5" OD tubing:

Right now everything is just tacked in place.  Its a panhard bar set up with bags over some C10 trailing arms.  This is with all the air out of the bags and the frame resting on deck.

Here's a shot of the motor (I failed to show you pics of the fabbed motor mounts I made, I'll try to remember to get those in).  I modified the OEM S-10 crossmember to hold the 700R4 trans you see in this pic.

Next is to work on rear shocks.  I'll have to fab upper and lower shock mounts and find a shock that I can use, we'll see.....

Oh...before I forget, here's a scooter I motorized with a weedwacker motor.  This is what I started out with:

And here's with adding a weedwacker motor:

Above is the initial mocking up of the motor, and below is a video of testing her out (you may have to be patient for the video to load):

Well, it looks like the scooter would be fast, but the little weedwacker motor had no torque whatsoever.  So....what do you do?  You put a BIGGER motor right! 

I ditched the weedwacker motor for a 5hp power washer motor, made some custom exhaust and ape-hangers, BAM!
