With motor and rear frame connected I can easily pic the front off the ground wheel barrow style using just arms.

No.... May be 70lbs

Lol! Not into boats anymore but I was a 50's aluminum when I was! Main frame 100%!!! Now to cut aluminum sheeting. Here is some pics next my Mazda 6 and tundra for scale

Been super busy with work but was finally able to get back at it! Frame and rear sub frame about 90%

Thanks guys! Jamie p, I know, it's been so long that I forgot about how sneaky fiberglass is about getting past any defenses! But also realized and remember how quick I got use to it! I don't know anything about build off. Been crazy at work but it is about to get started again. Striped it back...

Thank you, but I would imagine anyone who actually does it for a living would be appalled by my methods! More of a subtractive method add more than you need and sand down to the shape I want.

Nothing major, got the center vent and headlight buckets done now to the brake cooling ducts. The red is a pic of the real 312 front

Not sure of the ratio in the diff, and I don't remember how much it was but I think I got it in Amazon. Here is a scaled mock up of the rear and a pic of me with it to give a sense of it's size.

Drive shaft is done. It is a bit longer than I would like. Debated making a shorter solid shaft but I like the fudge factor a u joint gives me. I still may make one anyway. Here is the mock up and generally where the wheelbase will fall.

Yes it is a shaft drive. I am making a short drive shaft that will connect to a Polaris Sportsman xp1000 rear differential.

Yes I am doing all the glass work. Obviously doing it off of plugs, it would take a lot longer to build a mold than actually finish the body.

Made more progress on the body work.

It's still pretty cramped, not uncomfortable but no lounge chair. My gut says around 7-800lbs?? With basically 100hp and 100 ft/lbs it should be a hoot!

That's a good question! Not sure what to anticipate. Rear wheel is 12" so there is a small tire selection so I got the one with the highest speed rating I could find which is N!

Thanks guys! Glad to be here. The engine is from a 1993 Honda goldwing 1500 flat 6 with 5 sp+ reverse. The real car has a 3 L flat 12 so this motor made sense to me. It's end use....? Neighborhood ripper??? I just really wanted to build it. I did all the design and cutting for the frame a...

Sorry here are some pics at the start

Hello all new member in swfl. This is my first go at building a go kart or anything of this scale. In my younger days I built a number of motorcycles but nothing almost completely from scratch. My goal is to build a scaled down but as accurate to the original as I can of my favorite car of all...
