What is it?

[Kentucky Boy]

I’m in the process of restoring an old kart. I’ve been sanding and have uncovered an original sticker on the floor pan. Sorry it’s a crappy pic but what kind of kart is this? I’ve seen the sticker before but I can not remember the brand. In the pic you can see the sticker although it’s somewhat obscured. I’ve also modified the frame in this pic so it’s not entirely in it’s original form. Thanks.

Here’s a pic before I messed with it. The sticker is a star with wavy stripes behind it.

Google has verified Rabbithead's assertion... I'm going with Carter Brothers. The wavy star logo is unmistakable and the shape is dead-on.

Cool guys. Thanks. I’ve got it ready for some red paint. New front bumper, side rails and seat pan.

It is a Carter Hot Bodies #1435 Just finished rebuilding this one for my son. We added the roll bar among other things

Kart is looking great...I like those rounded side rails! It'll be cool to see in red next to Windstar's kart ��

Actually remodeling the cart now. After that picture was taken we put on a 30 series torque converter and had to move the engine further left. Left the card very unstable making right-hand turns one time the roll bar did come into play. Now taking off large rear plate and putting the engine back in the center down-low where the manufacturer had designed the cart. The previous owner had mounted a smaller plate and then mounted the engine to that. Will post pictures after the change is complete with the jackshaft.

Here’s mine as of last night. Not much left to do, just assembling it.

Still not sure how to do more than one pic. I’ll eventually do a build thread for this one.
