Allmost... Depends on the cold weather... If it get to cold it will sit untill spring....
Wow, I can't believe I missed this thread...

Really, really, nice job on that go-kart! :thThumbsU:thThumbsU

I would be tempted to put on more aggressive, larger tires.
WOW! That is a smokin' little ride! You're gonna have fun ridin' that! I passed up the same cart a couple of months ago. I had too many irons but I should have bought it anyhow and gotten to it when I could. It was only $50. After seeing yours, I'm kicking myself in the *** now.

If you have any lakes that freeze over a set of chains and lots of clothes would make for a fun time.

Looks good but where's the seat belt and mesh to keep your arms and legs inside?

Mike
Looks like it would be a blast to drive, winter would make it even more of a blast!!!

Rob
Great build!! I'd like to see how you're routing the drive-chain. :thanku:
I wouldn't let the cold weather stop me......
Just me ?? Or does it look like you better be a short person to drive it .. Might just be the angle the photo was taken..

I have noticed a lot if them attached to old tractors/trucks over time..

Anyway--good looking so far...:thanku:

My buggy got hit today... I stoped to see my brother at his garage and car lot and right after I stepped out of my jeep a full size truck somehow kicked out of gear on top of a small hill and came costing down through the lot. I heard a bang and turned around to see what the bang was. The noise was when the truck smacked mirrows with another truck. It traveled another 20 feet and smashed into my trailer with my butt buggy on it... It hit so hard the trailer allmost rolled over. The only damage to the buggy is a bent rim. The trailer needs the fender fixed and the rim bent on the far side of the trailer. When the trailer tried to roll over the truck was on top putting a large amout of weight on the far wheel. If my traile was not parked at that spot the big truck would have went into the garage and hit the corvet car that I came to buy.
Under the car was a man working on it... It could have been real bad. So it looks like my butt buggy maybe saved a life and also my next car...

Amazing story Kevin! Glad nobody got hurt...

Also it's a testament to the quality of your tie-down job that the buggy stayed put.
Oh wow! Did the guy know how fortunate he was? I'll be the dealer will be willing to shave a little more off the price of that vette for you now. Are they going to fix the trailer and buggy for you? Glad no one was hurt

How bout a pic of the truck!
How bout a pic of the truck!
And how about a pic of the Vette?
WOW , just a mater of inches from a totally different outcome !!!!! Someone was watching over you . I hope the owner of the truck will take care of the repairs , give everything a really good look as other damage may be hidden , tweeked axles , tow hitch etc.
