Go Kart Time!

Ok, special thanks to Rockcrawler in El Paso for taking time to snag this for me and keeping it at his house for a couple days until I could get down to pick it up. Last year I bought a 32 ford kart for my son. Well, work and life has gotten in the way and my son and I spent the day cleaning the garage and working on the kart. Its time I spend more quality time with the little ones and let other things aside.

Here are some pics of the kart. Chad was gracious enough to go over and look at it for me to ensure it was as good in real life as it was in the pics. Has tuck and roll interior. working head and tail lights. The previous owner never put it on asphalt but had it hanging up in his restaurant as a display. It never had a motor, live axle, pedals, brakes. Bought a motor today (harbor freight 6.5hp horizontal shaft $99.95). Ordering live axle, brakes, pedals, cables, clutch, sprocket and chain tonight so in 2 weeks he is out tearing up the asphalt!

these pics are of when Chad went down to look at it.

Nice, you plan on taking it off any sweet jumps?

Be sure to post up a video, maybe a burnout video?

little turd. He is getting excited to get it finished. He called me today after school and I told him. he said not to touch it until he comes over again. His mom said he had a blast this last weekend. I am looking forward to getting it running and watching him drive it. I might just try and squeeze my fat **** in there and giver a shot! LOL
