What’s up everyone! New to this forum, and scene, came across this site looking over info for a build I’m currently working on.
As a first time kart builder I wasn’t sure exactly what I was getting into, but I wanted to find a summer project for my 7yr old son and I to work on together, and after some local searching we ended up scooping up this very rough backyard hunk of twisted mess..
Before I say anything more, I do have an extensive background with metalworking and cars, and I WAS looking for something that was going to need work. Thankfully, building a kart seems to be a fraction of the costs of my other projects. As of now we are about a month into a full restoration/modification of our Yerf Dog 3002 Police theme Tribute Kart.
I searched and searched before and never found anything like what we were thinking about, so we’ve pretty much had to sketch it out and make it happen ourselves. Its become such a fun process for us the last couple months that we are tingling with excitement to find some new places and friends to ride with. Here’s a few pics of the progress so far, let us know what you think, or if you have any questions feel free to ask!
