mini '32 ford

[afflicted1]

wats up everybody, thought i would share my gocart that i am building for my kids. using 1" DOM tubing for the frame, 1" live axle, an a 6hp tecumseh. i am using a cheap horrible frieght bender so the bends are not perfect. got a ways to go yet but i will let the pics do the talkin

i like that a lot, although i think the wheels a a little to big

Wheels would be perfect for a liter bike engine.

am goin for the big wheel lopro streetrod look. would have liked to have a smaller wheel for the front but could find a low pro tire that matched the back tire sidewall. so this was the closest i could get. rear tires are 235/30/12 with an 8" wide wheel an front is 205/30/12 with a 7" wide wheel

wow man that thing looks great!
I would put a lil bumper around the front and back so the kids dont mess up that body cause that thing seems like it would cost a good chunk of change to replace!

 

[KieranM]

yea man that looks savage, well done

 

[afflicted1]

thx for all the comments. yea not sure how long it will be before the body gets banged up. still not sure how the fronts goin to be done to protect the nose. dont want a gaudy bumper if i can help it. the back will prolly get a chromed bumper of some sort

Is that a fiberglass body? I think it needs a roll bar and a 5 point harness.

Looks awesome! that DOM tubing must be breaking your bank.

yea its handlaid fiberglass. i was thinking maybe a chrome rollbar about 6" higher than the top of the body not sure yet. mite make the back of the seat part of the rollbar. got a ways to go before im ready for that anyhow

lol isnt the cheapest thing i supose

Are those bodies available?

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Yeah, that's awesome! Did you make the body, or where'd you get it!

 

[Blazkowiez]

Freaking sweet so far man, for the bumper in the front have you considered a design similar to a Plymouth Prowler? It would be effective and not destroy the scheme.

 

[afflicted1]

i picked the body up at a swap meet about a year ago. from the research i did on it, a guy by the name of Pete Malmsjo from the UK makes these. suposed to be a big name fiberglasser over there. no idea how it would have gotten to the states tho. thx for all the props

What is the kart looking thing in the background with a Tecumseh mounted on it?

 

[Cotmullion]

That looks like a '34 Ford doesn't it?
