Hello!

[Matt_25]

Hello my name is Matt I'm 15 and live in Nashville Tennessee. I have been coming to this forum for awhile, and have sat reading for hours just fascinated with what people do on here. I have recently purchased a vintage Clark cyclops 440. At least I think thats what I think it is. I finally decided to join because I have many questions on how to get it back to its former glory.

Oh, how droll... Contrary to popular belief, just because we're at "the a$$ end of the world" (as spoken by a former prime minister) everything is not upside down

Nice to see you have a sense of humour, you should fit right in here

If you uploaded straight from a phone, it would depend upon what angle the pics was taken.

It's also a bit blurry too so, perhaps you can get some more shots...

Fabroman.

Haha loved that quote Thanks I'm actually at the beach sipping drinks with the family. But when I get home I will take better picture considering those were taking the day I got it, and I have done some work I will also make a thread as the previous owner made some, lets just say odd changes to the kart that I now have to fix.

I also am not a vintage guy, so im not restoring the kart. I bought the kart because my best friend and his family race on a big dirt track they built and they all race their dad's old rupp darts and I was tired of not winning so I found it on craigslist for a 100 dollars and new I had to have it

I'm also kind of a tinker(er) so I do a lot myself even though I'm not very experienced I think it is the best way to learn so I have a lot of questions

Welcome to the forum matt. You are going to need a helmet if you are going to be riding the kart that way round

 

[Matt_25]

haha I agree, but you don't know how much super glue it took to get the kart up there!

Nice score

We're all tinkerers & asking questions & trying things is how we learn: ask away
