So, A buddy of mine picks up this 34 Fiberglass Body go-kart

Chassis and Body , needs engine and work done.

So, He asks me.

Recycled 6.5 Clone that was used on a water pump.

Cables, Brake band, Re-locate pedals.

Added, Front & rear bumper, Chrome front fenders.

Made a choice on the short bar behind the driver. Added a " V " style windshield.

Getting headlights for the front, I've made pedestals for mounting.



Also Rear tail/brake lights. Just a L bracket to mount these. Battery pack to light them up.



Hood scoop is to be decided yet??

What ya think ?





Oh, an I might make a metal grill for this yet.





Did a little research on the net and the body seems to be made by " ToT Rods "

Grill is in, Hand made and welded. Took brand new BBQ grills from a discount store.

Ripped them all apart, re-formed the 5/16 rod into the shape of the outer grill.

Once that was done I welded in the center rod, then used a 3/8" rod spacer to weld in the next one.

An the next, an the next, etc...

Once done, I cleaned and wire wheeled everything. Then painted with a bright silver paint.

If all goes well, photo's Wednesday.

Thanks much guys, have to remember this is not my toy. So I'm stuck in the guidelines of what the owner wants to do ,
what I can talk him into and or out of :laugh:

He was thinking a ZZ Top stripe job, I said come on man, that's what everybody does, just like flames.

Now I got him thinking about side pipes OR 8 Cyl poppers out the side. Who knows, LOL

I can't wait for the lights to get here.

I say some graphics that look like louvers on the side



A ton of work but add louvered panels to it for actual louvers.



When I say add I mean cut and blend them in not pop riveted on like that set

Not a bad idea at all but, this is his buggy for the kids. Even he said ( Lets see if He cracks it up first ) when I asked about paint.

Shortly after that comment, I put the bumpers on, LOL

Nice job thats a cool kart for sure the kids are going to love it. When i was little my brother and I wanted a body on the gokart so we made one out of wood sheeted in cardboard. It was really fun to ride in but came apart after a few weeks. Panels flying off as we went down the road. good times
