Yes, my wife does the trick.
This stuf, and agitate just a hair with steel wool, comes right off.
Or get starter fluid, spray, and watch it peel off lol.

It is though! I wish I could have saved the front sticker, it looked B-A lol.
This isn't a bad little kart actually, but it's been hacked on to ---- and back. Side bars cut off, spindles cut and rewelded, axles welded up, nuts welded onto it in random spots... sigh. It's been a but of work, and a lot of grinding, but it's coming together.

Ty Landuse.
Ordered the clutch, chain, and bolt today. Already have a key. Spent $35 so I'm happy. $7 in paint so far, and I already had the stripper (she's good too). Thinking about using the foam and vinyl from a boat seat but idk. I may just get a piece of vinyl and foam and do my own. If I did we're talking $20 at the most.
So frame $50
Clutch $20
Chain $10
Clutch bolt, spacers, etc $5
paint $7
seat maybe $20
$92 to $112 depending if I make the seat.
Looks like I'll have at least $100 profit.
On top if that I bought a nice craftsman tool set (Sawzall circ saw, drill, light, batt, charger, big case, $20 at the auction. Listed it on cl for $150 and already have 2 offers of $100

That is a good deal. I get mine at ebay too about 20-23. IMI Auctions is the seller. You can also deal direct with them. Skipping ebay at IMI motorsports. Mike is the guy, he honors the ebay price and free shipping. 303-833-0491
FREE Shipping is the key here Dirty. BMI uses UPS and high$$$.

So I got the clutch and chain last week.... and just got the hardware set yesterday @#%@$@%@.
I'll be putting everything together this weekend and redoing the seat, then up for sale.
I'll post some pics when complete.

No what I mean is I hate going through bmi. The clutch cane from texas, chain from cali and I got them within 3 days of ordering. The hardware came from bmi, in ohio, 1 state over, and I get it 2 weeks later just about.
I'm talking to one of their guys trying to figure out why they refuse to use usps flat rate.
Speaking of the devil this is their response:
We do use the flat rate options as well but not every order is able to go that way. When placing an order the customers chooses (except some Ebay) which type of shipping they would like to have. If you would like to have the shipping upgraded to a different type of shipping you are more than welcome to ask. We have changed shipping for many customers as well. As for the high prices we do not charge anything over the cost of the actual shipping. UPS has raised it rates and we use USPS as much as possible. We will try to keep the cost of shipping down for customers in any way that we can.
I am Glad that you have received your package. Remember if you would like faster shipping please just ask and we can get you different options for it. Thanks and have a great day.

Good luck with that. My wife got into it with them about USPS last summer. Apparently they are in the middle of nowhere and the Post office will not come to their place and they could not possibly make a trip to the post office!
I figured out a good solution for BMI. MFG supply! Flat rate 6.99 shipping on ALL orders. Cheaper than AGK and they are within 100mi. I still look at bmi online but I just cannot bring myself to order anything there and when I almost break down and do then I see the shipping and cancel the order. So yes BMI #@#$#@@$$$!!!!!

Eh I was just on ebay at the time, noticed it was coming from ohio and clicked buy. Didn't notice the shipping was the slowest option, and it was from bmi until way after.

I always order off eBay, larger selection and price ranges. Don't have time during the week to work on much so I tend to order in the weekends and get them the next week(99% this has worked for me)
