[crazy4carts]

anybody do repairs on body karts, like fixing the fins on the hood bullets of a 57 chevy go kart?

Try ur local bodyshop it's a minicar all men that where boys once will help u some how. I get help from the least expected shops with this kart thing. Worst he can say is no.

i'm in mount olive, north carolina, and know some body guys, and have done some fiberglass work, myself. i used to own and operate a car audio shop, and there was alot of custom work done there. this is old plastic, with no room for mistakes. i was hoping i could find some replacements, with no luck, so far. there dosen't seem to be any companies around, anymore, that produce the carts. i've only found one, and it's a new buyout of another

If u can work with "Glass" yourself try it slowly it's just like a speaker box &as u know u can always sand it back down if u mess up but take ur time &allow dry time & u should be ok.

i also got an idea of bondo, and a kneadable epoxy putty from someone on another forum. i'm gonna take a closer look, tomorrow.

IMO, bondo will be too soft, it's made as a filler, not a joiner. (I still can't figure out why you guys call it bondo)

Can you pinpoint exactly where the problem is? I can't make it out from your pic

in the picture, you can see a gold colored stripe running down the picture, from top, to bottom. that gold stripe is where the fin is supposed to be. it it supposed to stick up about 1 inch above the hood bullet itself;
