Welcome to the forum! Radical looking kart, Lots of vision there. I dont know what more you could need to learn if you can imagine and build something as progessive as that, kudos! bear

thanks for the welcome,this build i will admit took me a while drawing on adobe an has gone through a few different phases before i was satisfied so it isnt the lightest of them but i had to sacrifice a bit of performance for overall looks,but the 16 hp motor helps with the extra weight lol,

I'm really liking the body kit! You just got to share your method and process for achieving this!

thanks,its pretty simple since most of it is sheet metal then the angles and corners are layered with part fiber cloth with fiberglass resin molded to contour with how i wanted, then sanded to smooth surface and painted,to keep everything intact from cracking or bending i did however have to build a skeletal frame underneath the whole bumper since i use this also on mild offroad,to fix the issue of any vibration or noise i sprayed a layer of foam stick following the outline under the bumper also which works great,the idea of the headlights first spun from my interest in Nissan 300zx fairlady z ,so i made my own little version of it where if you look closely the outer lenses can lift open if ever the actual light inside needed to be changed,the fenders were carefully measured to where it would sit about 1in off the tires and is held in place by 2 rods along with the front bumper molds,well hopefully this gives you some idea, if theres anything else ill be glad to share,heres a pix of the front frame before i layed the metal and fiberglass
