I had cut the frame added several inches, built the motor mount frame, reattached the axel. Installed and welded the gear and brake flanges now I’m putting it together to add the shocks. The frame is ½” longer on the left side of the picture. Did not see it before, I thought I had it square. I can even remember adding a shim to adjust it out on that side. I know what I’m doing this week end. Frame hinge, then shock supports.
It rolls great, two fingers to move it around. (Surprised me) With the engine installed and chain hooked up it should do ok too. The cage is not that heavy but seems stout.
There is a picture of my other karts for size comparison. Homemade, Manco (from my company when I retired), and the SRV/ Honda. With the extra length it sort of look like a drag rail. I may have to install a reverse, I’m just kicking it around right now.
No matter how it goes, runs or not- I'm enjoying the build.
