[MENTION=47323]OND[/MENTION] Eric here are some inspiration photos.... This is "Sneaks" A-bone "The Widow Maker" with twin Predators. 50 plus horses at your beck and call....
The mounts you need.
Gary said that it wanted to twist the frame until he added this bracing.
I'm liking it. Do you have another cart to go buy or are you just winging it????

Thanks Doug , and yes I watched Gary and (Dr. Dyno ) as he was building this kart and engines back in the day. His kart is a full blown racing kart as this one will be more of a vintage looking kart with the narrow tires and wheels. Also I will probably let the oldest Grandson ride it so it needs to be a little more controllable. ( throttle stop ):wink:
I have no other kart to copy from....so I'm winging It .:shrug: We'll see what it looks like in the end.

I have a 2 seater that we can trade... Then the oldest grandson can chauffeur the other grand's around..... I know, I know

I built my nephew a 2 seater for a Christmas gift 15 or so years ago. I had regular turf tires on it but I used go kart rims and stretched them out. It really looked tuff with the wider rims. The old black man that worked at the small engine/go kart shop asked me. "You going to put them tires on a go kart?". I said I was and he said that he had never seen nobody do that before.... Made me chuckle when he said that.

The one I built my Nephew looked like a dang Sprint car it had so many bars on it. Full roll bar plus down tubes to the front and side bars and rear down tubes and side bars for the tires..... I had to reinforce the front spindles as it kept bending the axle upward.... it was a one wheel peel and I converted it to a live axle. I wish I had pictures of it..... I have never been much on taking pics of things I build. I just build and then think, dang I should have taken pics...
