Been messing with these frames for years. The orange one in the background has broken the frame many times before near the engine mount bars and the seat supports. Weld her up and keep going. Most of that all happened when it was like the Amex. Taking hard turns really flexes the frame and it...

Not sure why the pics came out that way because they don't come out that way on my phone. Here's a few more of the header, still have to weld on the tip. Has a nice sound to it.

I've had this frame for years, but it just sat. I turned my old street Dingo back into an off-road kart and swapped the slicks over to the Amex. My nephew came into town and we put it all together for him to ride. He calls it the "drift kart." I used a gc160 I had from an Azusa kart project. I...

Awesome kart! Need to start playing with mine again.

I try and blast around the neighborhood as much as possible. Short quick runs due to the kart being loud.

Profile filled out now with a few pics added of the karts. Sorry about that, never got around to it. I am originally from Plano, parents still live there. Always looking through Dallas and San Antonio Craigslist ads for go kart related items, preferably dingos.

Find a dingo. I made my dingo into a street kart, it's a blast. I also have an Amex, paid $150 for it with a blown briggs. i have a clone for it. My dingo and Amex are the exact same frame.

I saw this on Craigslist and was considering it for parts too. i'm always searching for dingos and related parts. Cool frame setup though.

Nice! I'm getting ready to buy a tc, just not sure what I want to put it on. I don't have many offroad place to ride so was thinking about putting it on the street dingo for a little added riding experience. Think I am going to go ride mine now, it's been awhile!

I'd like to see a video of the Amex with the torque converter on it. I'm curious what the take off is like. Do you still have the governor on the engine?

I want to put a Tav2 on one of the karts. Keep the gearing for top speed but still have some low end. I wish there was a kart club like the Emmett Outlaws around here in south Texas. I don't know anyone that's into karts. I want to get this Amex going soon so I'll have a second kart for someone...

Thanks! When I got my Dingo the axle was bent so I picked up a 42" axle which has 2 inches of thread on each end. I could prob cut off an inch from each end just haven't done it yet. It doesn't have the step down like the stock axle. I ordered another one for the am-ex, didn't like the narrow 36...

My street conversion is similar to the blue kart in a previous post. I also have an American Express I am starting to build, but going a little different route than my current one. Here are some pics.
