What about the bench seat?

[ProtoDie]

oh, the original seat.

Ebay for the seat cushions then built the steel frame

[Bbaker15]

Ohh I see.. How many feet of tubing did it take to build the entire buggy? D.o.m?

[Deranged]

What's cool is, I am now re-building one right now for my kids! Just picked up the motor, and am buying hubs, bearings and all the parts to put it back together! I should start a build thread, eh.

Justin.

[ProtoDie]

probably around 120-140'

you can use DOM but we used 1" x .083 wall ERW on these.
plenty of strength in the design

[ProtoDie]

I got 1 built up race engine left

[Bbaker15]

I'm thinking about making one if These!!! I race ump modifed and racing go karts. So this won't seem to hard to put together being they are so close to the racing go karts. Ive got a fab shop with all the equipment nesasary. I live in Grand Rapids approx. 30 minutes from you guys. Thanks for all the information!!!

[ProtoDie]

sure,they are real fun and ya you are close.
you run modifieds at I96 speedway?

[Bbaker15]

Yep, I-96 and all over Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Florida, Canada. The closest track is I-96.

Ha that's so cool seeing all of them ripping around at once.

Sounds like our race karts, when you get a bunch together running you get that kind of thumping noise from the pack of single cylinders.

What RPM do you run them up to, ours we take to 7500, but that's with billet rod and flywheel, ported heads and valvetrain upgrades, bigger carbs, exhaust, custom cams etc.
