Bighead back. ACDC bar stool racer build.

[bighead]

Been a long long time. But back in the shop for bar stool racer take two. The first pics you see was my summit racing bar stool racer. Looking to out do myself with an ACDC theme bar stool racer.

Starting with a $400 invader dirt track kart in running order. Just ordered host of part. The tank is a harley sportster tank. Waiting on my u-joint for steering shaft now. Then the fun can start. Gonna be low profile and I will fab my own bar stool. Kind of like the last pic but my own twist.

acdc has plenty of marketing items I cab corporate into the build.

Hello to all my old friends that are still around.

Where have you been hiding? We've had a few ody questions go unanswered because you weren't here to answer them :toetap05:

Welcome back...

Hey.... Welcome back bighead!! Good to hear from you again. I look forward to seeing what you are going to do

Started the steering column today. Comet karts sales sent me wrong size steering blocks that stopped me in my tracks. Good news is steering u-joint fit and my angle change should work.without messing with pitman arm and tie rods.

Next is mock up tank location and build stool and tank mounts. Can'tdo nothing until I get correct steering blocks .

Enjoy.

Ya thanks man. Had duel hip replacement. I feel like new man. Had to take a few years off. I sold all my Odyssey but one. Sold my quads and relize I have no toy. Been itching to design a project. Acdc is my favorite band and they have plenty of marketing stuff I can incorporate into the build. shoukd be sick.

This one. The holy grail of odysseys.

 

[rushking19]

I remember that one, but I get why you sold them and building bar stools because it's easier on your hips

Got my bar stool top today. It's a 12" patch that I will glue and sew onto the stool top.

Is looking good so far

After looking of my project from my chair. A few beers latter I decide I want to move the engine to the center of the kart.

My question is the double bearing in on the right side. When I move the engine the sprocket will be on the left side with just one bearing.

Something tells me it shoukd be fine but I thought I would ask. It's not like it'sa shifter kart. Or I could move the bearing as well .

Who thinks the side mounted engine would look dumb? I think center under the stool would look better.

Posted pic of what I am talking about .

I like the center mount idea better.

Chancer, I edited your post. Didn't want people to wonder what you were talking about

I guess it's just phone upside down. Who knows. Anyway engine centered now. Having **** time finding 7/8 steering blocks that don't need modified. Standard metric BS.

Enjoy

Welcome back Sir.

We don't know each other and I think I appeared around when you left.

So, Hi. I'm Kelly. I build stuff too.

Yep.
