Vintage 60's Fox kart just finished

[Frank Davis]

This is a mid-60's Fox kart that I just finished fixing up......This kart started with mis-matched incorrect wheels, a goofy front porch poorly done, engine mount cobbled on, no bushings in the axle mounts, no box mount(s), toasted floor pan, flat and simple seat pads, no tank, non-working juice brakes and a corroded paint job.....and no engine.
Well this is how it turned out....not a perfect or correct restoration (I like to take liberties)....powder-coated in a "candy" teal blue, white and gold metalflake vinyl upholstery with tuck-n-roll seat and white piping, all new bearings, control rods, steering geometry,etc, etc, and a "peppy" WB820 engine......a lot of work, but it's all fun!

Frank are those rubber isolators on the frame by the axle? Very nice kart.

Thanks guys for the great comments, I do appreciate them.....not really a resto, but era-style correct....and yes, the Fox frame has rubber bushings (very similar to shock bushings) isolating the axle from the frame...a Fox design....Frank

Well done, Frank! It looks awesome! :thumbsup:

Very nice Frank! I got mine on hold, but it will never be that nice. Are you going to vintage race, or slap it on the garage wall? It's a piece of artwork.

 

[Frank Davis]

It won't go on the wall, that's for sure (at least my wall!).....Frank

NICE!... really like that seat.

Looks great Frank, nice work, I really like the color of the frame. :thumbsup:

Nice! Be really nice with a Westbend on it.

LOL, I see nothing wrong with garage art. For me, it's either the wall, or valuable garage real estate. I just now kicked out the F250 so the mini's would feel more comfortable, and the Go Boy frame (in process) is indeed on the wall. When I complete it, it's going back on the wall, or on Ebay.

Dave, I have no problem with wall art either....just meant I don't have room! (it may end up on someone elses wall though).
fenderbassman: that is a west bend 820 on it!
