Looking good! What body goes on it? I am sure I know but, right now, not so much....

EDIT.... It's the mini monster....

It's looking good. Did you paint it yourself and if so... how?

 

[Awalker702]

It is the mini monster truck body going on it. It just has one motor mount, the other thing is a battery box. I ended up just getting it powdercoated, got a really good deal at a shop out here. After removing all the paint I figured it would be best to make sure it stayed looking good.

Looks really nice! If you don't mind me asking around how much did it cost to get it powder coated. And if you stripped the paint yourself, what method did you use?

 

[Awalker702]

I stripped it down myself with airplane stripper and a wire wheel. When I got majority of the paint removed I hit it with the sandblaster. I paid $100 to get the powdercoating done and up close it is flawless. The guy that did it is awesome.

 

[firemanjim]

$100???? Good deal......

 

[Awalker702]

Ya I was really surprised on the price myself.

Well- considering the actual labor time was less than 20 mins......I think you are probably both happy. ....

Man--that frame is beautiful. I stripped down a frame that was in *bad* shape... had to sand and grind the thing for hours to get the rust removed. I primed and painted the kart, but I'm now constantly doing touch-ups as it gets nicked here and scratched there. I wish I had the foresight to get it powdercoated like you did. Excellent job!

 

[Awalker702]

Thank you. It was a pain getting it stripped down but it was well worth it in the end. I will definitely let the shop take care of the stripping on the next project I start on.

Very nice job! Good for you!

Been a while since I've been able to get anything done, have had a lot going on. A couple of updated pictures, haven't got much done just fitting a few new parts and then start getting it together. First is new exhaust I made

 

[Awalker702]

New gas tank. Just needs to be polished, getting to this later today.

 

[Awalker702]

Better shot of exhaust.

 

[Awalker702]

It's getting there

Getting a little closer

 

[Awalker702]

Tank mounted and exhaust finished. Next is to get the front end put back together and throttle and brake linkage.

Awesome job sir, But got one question or request................

I am getting a crick in my neck everytime i look at your beautiful pics.

A local lawn shop had those when i was a kid and i always loved them cause they were bigger than most karts.
