Default Out of Paint and Making Progress On Super Kart

Finally out of paint. Finally have all motor parts to assemble motor. Made some good progress today with seats, belts, flooring and padding. Waiting for long cvt belt so I can mount motor and tranny in swing arm. It is getting there.

The wheel base front is 56" and the rear is 58". It is all made out of chrome moly tubing the same 1" tubing that they use on USAC midgets. Super strong, super light, = super fast.... Wheel base length is about 106".

Thank You. I will be putting front end back together this weekend. Just got done shooting the a-arms. I am waiting for my New CVT belt to come so I can mount the motor and transmission into the swing arm then that will have to be painted. Hopefully couple more weekends and I hope to be done with it. I also am building a console for the shifter and a nice carbon fiber ignition switch push button start panel, getting rid of the key setup that it came with. Thanks for looking and appreciate your nice commets. Robert
