Shopmade Go Kart... Fully Enclosed?

[That One Guy]

Thanks, could you possibly get in closer to that main part, directly in front of the drivers seat? Are they teeth?

Also, another update. I finished my door, and a piece to stop it from swinging inside of the frame. I won't be able to afford a latch for the inside or a lock for the outside of it for a while, because i just emptied my pockets and change jar into my mothers hands for miscellanious things I owed for, and still owe her 40 dollars for gas, and my shop teacher 20. And I can't afford to drive to school now!!! Anyway, I'm broke, so dont expect much more than pedals, and maybe some other random free crap I might find laying around. Sorry for the poor quality of the second pic.

thats pretty clever
i like it

Thanks, I do too. I was going for that James Bond awesomeness look. Just random features that will make people say "wtf?"

Make a grappling hook from scrap metal and just hang it from the frame. James Bond-esque and a nice conversation starter.

why just let it sit there, if your putting on a grappeling hook you should use it, lol

I have thought about making one for so long, but I really dont feel like falling from the heights I would undoubtedly fall from. If I had one of those, I would probably climb my school.

That thing is so badass.

Looks, really neat! I gotta ask, though- what does that monster weigh?

 

[redsox985]

The main body is probably storage for a 20oz CO2 tank that propells it out.

I haven't actually weighed it yet. For being 0.90 steel, without an engine, two people could carry it a mile without breaking a sweat surprisingly.

Well this thing about all of Decembers posts being deleted blows. I don't feel like reposting my pedals.

 

[That One Guy]

Well, it might be done for. It's just been sitting in the shop for months now, with nothing being done. I really can't do anything without an engine, and all of my money has been going into paying off my ticket, my new van, my insurance, and the school (I broke a bus window last year), and whatever is left over has been getting my van running. I'm really sorry, guys, I'm dissapointed with myself. I seem to have lost my motivation before it was even finished.

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Oh, man- That's a horrible shame. Don't close the book on it entirely. Store it somewhere, get your spit together and get back to it when you can. Life has a way of getting in the way of things, often seriously screwing up plans. If it has to wait awhile- even a long while- so be it. Don't give up entirely. That thing was coming along brilliantly. I'd love to see it done!

AND SO WOULD YOU!

dont know if u have seen davesfarm vidios
he left his kart for 30 odd years before retoreing it

u will kick yourself later if u ditch it

 

[That One Guy]

I wouldn't get rid of it! I swear! My plan was to just take it home and tarp it, and gather parts for a while. You guys just made me feel better:biggrinjester:

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Mission accomplished.

 

[That One Guy]

Still haven't found an engine for it. It really shouldn't be this hard.

 

[fowler]

What engine are u looking for
