Kinda excited , I am suppose to get the big order I put in tomorrow ! Woop Woop !
I still need to find a way to weather proof the motors , wiring and electronics.
How about stuffing it in a Hefty Bag? LOL
It won't help with the motors, but you could pot the electronics in non-conductive silcone. Pretty permanent solution, so be sure of your design before you do it.

Hey thanks for the idea. I have been watching youtube for ideas and I found that Plastidip can be sprayed onto electronics for waterproofing , but if you even need to get it off the board, it is possible to pull it off. ( usually not in one piece but its possible)

Spray Dip a motherboard in white ! I might actually do that since I love white so much.
Your GPS tracker maybe a challenge in future as a lot of the GSM networks that provide this service are shutting down. If you have an old android phone laying around maybe you can stick in a twillio sim and track that.
Yes a android phone hidden inside is certainly an option if this does not work out. I know att and Tmobile as well as straight y’all still support 4 channels of gsm but they no longer support EDGE internet speeds which utilized those frequencies all at once to make a 128 kB data connection.
I started to disassemble the chassis , I can see there are certainly differences from the other one and I think I may swap the front end so I can easily find a place for headlights. The screws on the fender are badly rusted and I put some for in the hole to break it up.
