Neat stuff!

 

[KustomKartKid]

yeah that thing is neat......I saw that pic a while back it served as one of the inspirations for the trike I built....

whenever I see an old photo like that I can't help wonder what became of it....scrap metal..?.cut up and turned into something else...? or still out there hiding in the back of a garage somewhere :shifty:........I like to think it's the latter.....
