Welcome to the forum. That is an awsome looking buggy. I see you have a dashboard of dials above the engine. What is that for? What have you still got to do.

Hit us with any questions you might have. Start a thread over in the projects section when you get started on the kart

Welcome to the forum! Looks like a pretty good start there, can't wait to see how it turns out.

That buggy looks awesome! For much did you buy it?

That is the old snowmobile bashboad.

I need to relocate the kill switch, lights, light switch. Replace back sprocket and chain (that I broke). Finish up moving the exhaust, storage box, some other things that slip my mind.

That doesn't sound too bad. You can finish it up this weekend and post a vid of you riding it for monday. Just joking.

It sounds like you are close though

$$$ slowing me down. Parts should be here Friday or saterday. Then comes the fun part of tsar mg the back axle apart. The previous owner. Wielded the hubs on and I'm not sure how I'm going to take it apart.

Ouch

Pretty much.

you might be able to do a lot of grinding but if that doesnt work youll have to cut off the axle and get a new one and new hubs. i had to do this on a kart where the hubs were rusted onto the axle

How do they normally attach hubs on a rear axle?

Usually with a keyway & some sort of backstop (like a locking collar). Nothing should ever be welded to an axle... but, I'm thinking you know that by now lol

I need to get a video up

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Yes, you do!
