winner winner..... Here is a pic my brother sent me before having to build the box (that I had already paid to have built by PO) . I bought the body AND mold to make more 32 fords.....



Needless to say, the first kart I build will be over the top. I have wanted a bodied kart since I was a kid. Then, as I got older, I fell in love with hot rods, and the 32 has always been a dream car. I'd like to buy this crate car one of these days. So until then, I am gonna make the best kart version I can , to hold me over. I'm going with all the bells and whistles. Keyed, electric start, full lighting, reverse, full interior (seat,interior door panels,dash with gauges), and a period correct look/stance, with fat n skinnies, and maybe even a wolves tail hanging from an antenna.....
I have not decided color yet. I'm stuck between the "show car " look in fire engine red with flames, or the matte black, poorboy racer....... I like both, so it's very difficult for me to decide. It might end up being a poll question in the end.
I've been researching local companies to fabricate an original appearing frame for these. WOW not gonna be cheap. Without seeing it in person, I believe a simple kart frame will not work, or even remotely look right, to carry these bodies. I've been studying the lines on the body and mold, both appear to have the shape of the original frame embedded in the glass, to sit on. I will take that job first, as it's the foundation of the kart.
Here is my dream.....
