2018 - Bigheads Bartool Race Kart

[landuse]

Looking really good. You should be riding it in no time

Exhaust is done. Simple j pipe.

Can’t believe how much an 1 1/4 axle flexes with only two bearings. Adding 3rd bearing to middle of axle.

 

[bighead]

Third bearing installed. Reverse and neutral light drilled and installed into headlight bucket. Thinking about putting these belt buckles onto the wing. I have one for each branch of the military. Trying to figure out best way to put them on. Pop rivet but would see rivet.

Down to bare frame. Reinforcing motor mounts and other brackets. Final weld up.

Had trouble getting engine out so made side access. Just un bolts and slides out. Still need to drill bolt hole. (Last few pics)

Looking good Bighead!! Your garage always looks so busy

Good job on the engine access fix.

Welded gussets in and final welddone. Next is to clean up some of my welds and clean prep for paint. I am using two $20 POR15 starter kits for paint. They are $20 each. So $40 in paint cost. That’s cheaper than say rattle cans. And por15 is rock hard as nails.

Enjoy

I remember that Por15 has always been your go-to paint for your builds. It seems to work really well

Nice work. Now I don't know who to vote for. So much creativity and talent.

Big update. I got frame welded and painted. Starting final assembly now. Probably be done this week for I am on vacation. I took summer break from the shop dew to heat. Back at it now.

Enjoy.

Additional pics from above post. Got tank and axle in. Needs some hardware to finish it off. Moving right along. Love this part of the build.

This build is looking so cool!!! The gas tank is the bomb

Did you POR15 the frame like you usually do?

 

[bighead]

Got my bags and front bumper on. Chain guide good to go.
