    One wheeler peeler, seems a waste really after putting all that sweat and blood in. Cool looking chassis though.

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bob's Barn Workshop says:

    That old paint probably has lead in it! Hope you wore a mask while sanding it off!

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Danny Newton says:

    Y’all did a great job!

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Santa Clause says:

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Restoration Australia says:

    Super cool project.👍

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Cup Walker says:

    I had one of these growing up 💪 Where is the 5 horsepower Briggs and Stratton Flathead with governer removed and the dog chasing you around the yard and mom screaming at you 😉 Good job and thanks for the hard work . thanks for keeping them alive .

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TheBiliken says:

    Makes me feel old as fuck when you’re restoring a vintage go cart exactly like the one I had when I was a kid

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars F5 Tornado says:

    No no noooo, why would you go through all that work with so many mods and new parts only to leave it 1 wheel drive? Those are only good for making right hand turns. Total waste of money SMH.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars hornmonk3zit says:

    That degoverned Predator's not gonna make it to the second oil change if you don't swap out the valve springs. Predators don't even make sense any more economically, for fifty bucks more you got a Tillotson which comes stock with stiffer valve springs, better cam, more horsepower, and a non explosive flywheel.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars SMART ASSIST says:

    I’ll buy your go cart! I can use it around town as others have golf carts.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars SMART ASSIST says:

    GREAT JOB!

    I NEED TO BUY FAT TIRE 3 WHEEL TRIKE. MOUNT MOTOR IN BACK, SHAFT DRIVE (REAR WHEEL). ADD BRAKES AND LIGHTS. GO 20 TO 30MPH.

    ELDERLY MOM CAN USE IT TO GO TO POAST OFFICE, TOWN MINI STORE.

    (MOUNT STARTER ON MOTOR.

    WHAT IS BEST MOTOR ? I WAS THINKING A USED MOPED OR SCOOTER MOTOR.

    IF I BUY ALL PARTS. SHIP TO UOU, CAN YOU MAKE IT? ILL PAY A LITTLE AS I AM ON SS INCOME MYSELF.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Godfathers says:

    Make sure to use stainless steel staples.

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kirkyarcher says:

    Butt welding the axles, rather you than me

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kevin Sellsit says:

    Looks awesome, but why not put on a live axle kit on it so it would be fun to drive.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Luciano says:

    Since you changed lots of parts I thinks it's a renovation rather a restoration but good job, anyway!

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Build Break Repeat says:

    Thanks for watching! This 70’s-80’s Kenbar Streaker kart came out great! Apologies for the infrequent uploads, engineering midterms are no joke but more videos and shorts are on the way

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars D Gamble says:
