Had a bunch of leftover parts from Manco XTK build. Decided to build a yard kart out of a hand truck. Was going for a F1 style, narrow body/wide stance. Had to reinforce frame rails with 1/8 x 3/4 angle for rigidity, but that gave me flat surface to mount floor pan. Made the mistake of building rear 1st. 42”hex axle, stage 1 212, repurposed old Manco seats. Springer spindles, 6” hex rear wheels from BMI, 15x6x6 turf tires. Learned a lot building from scratch.

Thanks for the comments. Had to lengthen the tab on steering shaft and put spacers on rod ends because it turned like a battleship. Put a smaller sprocket on because the vibration at high rpm was really uncomfortable.
