Tyrrell p34 go-kart build.

Will there be another control arm here? Not that there needs to be and, quite frankly, I don't know how you have found all the details about this legendary vehicle to begin with.

No most of this era racers only have one.

I completely understand and vibe with the quality of this project vs. the near to unbelievable lack of a shop and tools that would support such quality.

I grew up poor and therefore, resourceful. I am naturally either OCD or just plain anal. My focus on the end result looking like a professional, custom build is relentless to a fault. I built my first bicycle from a collection of things I found in alleys and trash cans. I had no idea what I was doing but I wanted a bike and it had to be cool. Funny, I thought Vaseline made good grease. Sandpaper, rattle can paint, and my Dad's tiny box of random tools were my friends. Paper route money helped with things like buying the paint, or a new inner tube. I used leaded gas to clean parts - barehanded - totally naive, and I should probably be dead. That first one built memories, but it also taught me what was possible with just your hands and a lot of determination.

There are ways to achieve excellence. It just takes more focus and effort. So as I peruse this thread, drooling, I gain even more respect for the patience, persistence and yeah, probably a ton of anal retentiveness to achieve the results we're seeing.

Bravo!

I am kind of the same, I don't know how to do it but I know what I want to build so you just have to figure it out, get creative and find a way to do it! Thanks for following along! Also all of my free time is spent looking at photos of the car and how it was put together, the model I used for the dimensions.

We have a motor!!! Moved it into my mother-in-laws garage! It is taller than it should be but it is actually not as bad as I thought! It will for sure be able to be compensated for in the body. I included the the last pic from the front to show how tiny it looks compared to 312!

Holy hello! What are you using for an engine?
