Hi, new from Oregon

[MudBug]

Hi, the names Blake and im restarting a project my dad and I never really started 10 years ago, more like bought parts and then nothing. But since switching majors to manufacturing engineering i have learned to weld agian, and now know more about metal and measuring stuff than i ever thought possible. So I suddenly regained an interest in projects and fabing stuff up. We have a large go kart or small sand rail frame with some tires, steering wheel and steering linkage. The plan is a a 500cc or so snowmobile engine and I look forward to learning plenty here. Also have a 73 mud bug, and an unknown small 3 wheeler that has motorcraft on the fiberglass. All that I plan on rebuilding.

Thanks and I'm hoping so. Hopefully this kart build doesn't drive me crazy.

Mudbug - I'm from Eugene. I was on here a while back and recently my boys and I, they're 15 (twins), started the arachnid. We built a kart last year but it got stolen, now we're taking it up a notch. Anyway, I'm the the type of father that could easily get started on stuff and then not finish it. Good for you to finish up the kart. We're looking forward to getting this thing done in the next month or so.

Sorry to hear that your kart was stolen, but glad to se it provided a new better opportunity for you. Thats a good age for them to help you with a build, just keep them interested in it and it'll teach them some good skills. good luck on your build.
