Since I've logged in. checked on "New Content"...wow 65 pages. I guess that is what happens after not being logged in for 1 year+ !!
Hope to get back into some Cocoontech conversations, but at this point it depends on how fast I finish up the from Scratch Go Kart project I've been working on. For now, I am just about done welding, all the wheels/suspension are on and steering is good.
I think what is remaining is finishing the brakes, deciding on the engine placement, welding the plate for that in place, hooking in springs for the pedals as well as the cabling for those.
I'd like to get the transmission I designed together and put in prior to painting, but all that does is enable the motor and providing reverse for the Go Kart. That one isn't AS big of a deal, but I'd rather it be as done as it could be prior to painting.
Funny, the kid's Go Kart is probably going to get a more expensive paint job than any Go Kart in the neighborhood...cost as a WHOLE unit. I have a slew of paint left over from when I painted my Mercedes...cheaper to use that since it's ON hand, than it is to go out and buy new paint...plus the color makes good sense for the color the kids picked for the seat material.
Anyway, hello to everyone again!
