That's where I'm at for now! I just got it running again tonight and it looks like the fuel pump I have will work! I still have to finish wiring and make some brackets and plates for the coil, fuel pump, etc., run the throttle cable up and make a rod to connect to the pedal. The shifter...

Don't mind the ratchet straps in these pics... I used them to bottom everything out and check for clearance issues! I got the third and final engine mount done as well as the exhaust in place. Still need to grind off the original mounting tabs though! I'm done the shifter linkage except for...

I was having some issues with the rod in the master cylinder pulling down when the brakes were applied, but a little bit of tubing did the trick. Not pretty, but it works! Next up was mounting the pedals. It was tougher than it looks because the holes aren't perpendicular to the tubing...

As you can see I had to cut off a bit of the rear part of the swingarm for the pads to make full contact with the rotor, but I think it worked out well! I used one of the bearing plate holes for the lower caliper bolt and then welded a tab on top for the other one. The rotor is from BMI. I'm...

I tacked together a tray out of some angle iron... for my ammo can fuel tank! I bought a master cylinder, reservoir and caliper off eBay from the rear of an '08 Kawasaki Ninja. Took a bit of time to getting everything working properly but I'm happy with it...especially the $10 price tag!

Next I made another cross bar for the front engine mount, then cut out a couple tabs and tacked them on. I didn't do anything fancy on the rear as I was running out of tubing and didn't want to risk messing any of it up and or I wouldn't have enough to finish! I needed it fairly wide at the top...

With the amount of travel in the rear of the kart, I didn't like how close the front bar was to the ground when the suspension was topped out. Out came the sawzall.... I cut it off about 3" back at a 10 deg angle and then flipped it over and welded it on. With no weight on the kart: With...

I made it so I can swap back and forth between those slicks and these tires. Fronts are 4.10/3.50x6 and the rear is a 16x6.50x8.

Here's the rest of the steering system tacked together.

Time for some steering parts. For the lower mount I cut a hole out of a short piece of tubing with my plasma cutter and welded in a piece of 1-1/2" OD exhaust tubing at a 45 deg angle. 1-3/8" OD wheel bearings fit inside the tubing almost perfectly. I used the same bearings for my suspension...

Spindle brackets were welded on next as well as shock tabs. I need to find some heavier shocks/springs as these ones nearly bottom on when I'm on it! Next came some more tubing for the seat mount. I drilled three sets of holes in the tubing for seat adjustment and then bolted some angle...

Old trailer shackes work great with some screws and washers to hold your frame while tacking everything in place! Front section of the frame nearly finished. No pics of the rear section being build, but here it is attached to the front. If you are familiar with the plans you can see...

Hey all, I'm kind of new here. I've lurked around for a few months but I figured I'd post up one of my current projects. It's nearly completed... well I guess nearing "drivable". It'll probably never be complete! It'll need quite a few test runs before I pull it apart again and either paint...

I'll show this to my brother-in-law and see if he's interested for his next project. I think he may be looking for something a little bigger but it's worth a shot as I'm only a couple hours from you!

I don't see why not! BTW that mower looks very familiar! I picked up a 112L (same style) last year and cleaned 'er all up. Those decals seem to be tough to find so I used some newer ones. I say do it and paint it up like mine, it'll look great if it works!

Not sure what happened with it... I've always wanted to stop in there but never got around to it... he's only about 40 min from me.

Looks good so far! I'm in the middle of building one as well.

Here's mine... not quite ready yet!

I bought from gokartgalaxy.com. Great place to deal with... quick replies on everything and easy to work with when I asked for USPS instead of UPS since I'm in Canada.

I've been in Mustangs for years... collected hundreds of diecast until I could afford the insurance and cost of a real one. I got personalized license plates that say "FULSCALE" because it was my first full sized Mustang. Pretty much stuck ever since...
