i think i have their metal ready stuff.... what other part is there? i bought the stuff a long time ago and i was told i have enough to do the VW Rabbit i already had bought the POR15 for a couple coats and still have a lot left over. so i should have enough of that stuff.

is this an okay brand to get? i mean, i'm not racing, but i do plan to have a little fun with my kart.... do they hold up fairly well? or is Hillard better?

so about an hour or two ago i did this: and after some gentle tapping against a BIG wooden dowel, then getting progressively harder..... this is the end result: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nQmFoEClbM :thumbsup: :cheers2: looks like that's one problem solved ;) now i gotta pull that...

anyone know of a place i can get go kart bodies? i'm looking for one for my Rupp kart.... but nothing too freaking expensive... i'm not looking to spend my life's savings on one. i'm looking for an older late 60's Corvette body. possibly an 80's model one if that's all i can find.

lil town called Greenville.... whole lot of nothing to do here. good thing we have our powersports toys :thumbsup:

yeah it doesn't even really look like DEEP deep rust it's just... deeper than the stuff you can knock off, you know? we'll see what happens, it's something until i find a good car battery.

hmmmm.....maybe i need to find a car battery then. i think i might get some coke at least for tonight and see how that works out. by the way, if i brush that POR15 on, will it look okay? i'll be using sponge applicators.

:roflol: wut? haha. please explain? :huh: i found a site that says if you completely submerg the part in Coca-Cola overnight it should just wipe off... i don't see how it would just "wipe off with a paper towel" but i could see it penetrating the rust maybe.

so i'm trying to clean up these rims.... i'm using a fine steel wool and PB Blaster.... it seems to be working pretty well on the rust that's not really that deep-set.... but there's still some bigger darker patches that need addressed.... anyone got any suggestions? Coca-Cola perhaps? Vinegar...

i'll try that if the PB doesn't work, thank you very much for the suggestion :) anyway..... time to get some work done! :wai:

bought some supplies....and some i had lying around -1/4" x 48" rod (brake rod, stubs for pedal stops) -3/8" x 36" rod (was going to be tie rods but it's too big for my eyelets, gotta take it back and get 5/16" -steel wool -polish applicator pads -springs for pedal return springs (will use...

thanks i really appreciate it. it was surreal seeing him in there because i always see him going and going and going like the energizer bunny, even when he's sick. he needs to rest. he just had surgery. well i have some metal polish and SOFFFFT 0000 steel wool i bought, along with a buffing...

i would need to flush it out after that, right?

1.) i meant horizontal, haha, brain fart :oops: 2.) yeah i looked at harbor freight's prices. i'll probably just find a used one and if it runs, fix the leaks if any and paint it up. 3.) yeah i planned on finding a metal or wood dowel to tap on it with. i work at O'Reilly Auto Parts, so a...

see that's what i wanna know. as for a new motor, i'll just clean up a used one. for now i'm putting some PB Blaster in and letting it soak for a long, long time. like a week or better. but worst comes to worst i'll just find a running vertical motor on Craigslist, or my uncle probably has a few.

dude! seriously.... if you could somehow make plans for this and share or something, that would be so awesome! i really would want to do this if i have a son someday. it's perfect. please share the plans or something?

hey guys, my name is Zach, i'm from Ohio, in the USA... i thought i'd come on here and post a project i'm working on, i believe i have an old Rupp go-cart and my brother and i are going to bring it back to some sort of glory and maybe modify it a little bit :thumbsup: you can follow our build...

hello all, so my family's had this kart for a long time, a few years, i don't really remember how we got it, i think we got it for free or in a trade for some things a friend of my dad needed, but i believvveee based on the wheels and the look in pictures i've googled, i have an old Rupp go kart...
