New to the forum.

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum. I just finished refurbishing my 1985 Honda FL350 Odyssey and I picked up my next project. It's a Carter Mini Monster. It's a monster truck go kart. It needs to be restored so I'm gathering parts as I can. So far I've picked up an 16hp Briggs and Stratton vanguard engine and a comet 40 series clutch setup. Will be a slower project until the Odyssey is 100%. I'm just buying parts when I find a steal on them. Goals for this thing are:
Full functioning lights
Electric start w/ pull backup
Replace all wear items(bearings, chain, etc.
Paint frame
Fix skillbillyed tie rod repair(might make my own heavy duty)
Repair and have custom paint put on body(body shop for that)
Remote killswitch for the savages
Might send bumpers and rollbar for chrome(depends on paint scheme)
I don't think I can post pics off my iPhone so here's a link to a few pics of my stuff. Hope you enjoy.

I'm very excited about this project. So is every kid in the family. Lol. I had never seen anything like this. Was tooling around on Craigslist and saw it. Just had to have it. The Odyssey was my first project and it went pretty good so I'm gonna go wild on this one. I want to take it to the local cruise nights(car shows) and use it as transportation at the campground. Will be a trailer queen/grass only ride. I really like the forum. Lots of good reads.

Nice to have someone new on the forum. I'm only 12 and I'm on.

Very cool! Good to see a younger person on the forum. What kind of toys do you have? Does Dad help with these?

 

[CaptCanadia]

He probably helps more then you think..

Hahaha I don't see a foot in mouth icon or I'd use it. I take it Toy story 2 is son of the other Toy story. Come on, cut the newby a little slack.
