I downloaded it to my PC kindle reader.. anybody build one..?
I am having a hard time finding plans to build a frame. Like to find specs on a Manco american express so I can roll my own to fit my butt into..
I also have some spider cart plans but I don't like using square tubing for building frames..

^^ Again those are Square.

I have not heard of these plans before, but It looks pretty decent. At a glance.
You like using round tube? That is cool. Most people find it more difficult to work with.

Round....square....who cares???? The steel shape doesn't matter....the tubing is interchangeable....you can use either one on any plan....

What IS important is information and a basic plan when starting from scratch!

True.
Then Also check out Kartfab.com. Free Plans there as well.
If nothing else better to have 3 sets of ideas to work with and compare designs.

I have to agree, my Shredder plans call for square tube, there's a guy running a GSXR 600 motor in his, it's peachy.

If you just absolutely must, substitute round for square, if you want to notch all those tubes and bend them.

In the "customers who bought this item also bought" This one Thats totally a picture of my rusty red gokart... Good taste, it is a well built gokart. Nice and heavy... however it didnt even run in that picture...
