Vintage gokart build.
I bought this old Mowett Mustang mower out of a junkyard a while ago since I knew they were used as gokart chassis in the 60's/70's.. Didn't really know what or when I was going to make anything of it, but found a friend who wants one for her kids so...
I have a 6.5hp Predator engine, and a length of 410 roller chain which might be long enough. I might even have a centrifugal clutch, but braking system and tires I don't have..
I'm thinking of cutting the frame up and extending it and building a T bucket body to fit it and then fitting the front of the hood/ grill and reshaping it to match the cowl of the bucket body.. The problem I see with this is, the oldest is 8 and the youngest is 6, so they are very different heights..
What do you guys think?. My friend just wants it nice.
