Thanks for the lead. That might work, but 8" rims are pretty big. Of course the hot rod would look fantastic with low profile tires (to get to that ideal 15" OD), but now I'm really looking for something hard to find - low profile tires with treads...

That's interesting... Thanks for the idea

That's a good idea. Thanks. Very cool Jeep!

I haven't been on the site for a while. I sold off my last kart a while back, but now I'm planning a very involved build. My plan is to build a miniature hot rod pickup. The only thing preventing me from starting is that I'm struggling to find wheels and tires. The reason it's so hard is...

I'm working on a Manco Dingo 285. My box of brand new goodies arrived today, and I was excited to start assembling stuff. My projects rarely involve new, clean parts, so I really treated myself this time...However, the engine swap and torque converter installation were not as simple as I...

I'm having trouble keeping the centrifugal clutch in its place on the crankshaft of my Predator 212. I'm running it on an old Thundercart. In the photo you can see what keeps happening. The clutch slides until the chain gets misaligned and pops off. It has two set screws that I added...

My name is Jamie. I live in Maine. I got my first go kart when I was about 8, and my dad and I restored it. I used it until I outgrew it, then my brother used it for a few more years. I won my second go kart in a contest when I was 11, but I outgrew that one within a couple years. Then I...
