Rupp(ish) Clone

[spyke427]

Hello, I have not been on this site very long but I want start posting the Kart build I am doing with my kids. I have wanted to build Rupp Dart A-Bone for a long time and although I dont have much money to throw at another project I do have tools and time.

I hope to have this thing done before the end of the year and I will post photos as I go. If you have any info on Rupps that might help let me know as I am going off of what I can find online. Also I am building a Mcculloch 250 chainsaw motor (80cc) and im looking for parts and information.

Thanks.

Thanks, I will look at that. The kart is for my kids mainly but I do want to be able to jump on it as well. I think I need to get a pan and seat in it to see where the steering wheel needs to be. If i can find the right size tubing real quick I could make a adjustable one like some of the higher end Rupps have.
