Default Re: Barstool V8......

That barstool was on that Stacy David show on spike called Gearz, a while ago....and it had the radiator, twin fans, ect. ect. so it should run and do fine. Also guys use it to pull their drag cars around at the track also. More of a WOW factor type of deal, to drive around at car shows and the like.


and i dont know how smart it is to sit on top of the air cleaner.....

I made my own barstool type car a couple yearsback from a 11hp briggs and an old lawnmover and 110 atc parts. I have a short clip on my other computer.

BarstoolHere she is, LOL!! Sorry about the no helmet. This is all the speed it had though. It would do nice wheelies and hold them for about 20 feet. I flipped it backwards once, and the fan ate gravel since the shroud was missing.

Lol, lessons were learned through that process too! I had more trouble pulling the thing than driving it. When we first made it, my cousin and myself, we tried to pull start it with my three wheeler, and I cranked the steering wheel to see how well it steered. The frame articulated to the point where the front axle was vertical. Dumped me off in a flash. Brought it back to the shop and welded on the two pieces of angle on the front to stiffen it.
