Thanks to Iron Mike and Dave L. for helping to make John's
Christmas best ever.

wow very nice ., I may have owned that kart .?? .I think I sold it to jack ..??
I was the same age when I too found my first kart under the tree. Only it had a 3 1/2 HP Tecumseh.
I didn't get any go karts ..but I got this when I was 6..

Ted,
Thanks for the research on the original color for the Bug.
That's the color we painted it.
1956 Dodge Royal Blue Metallic, Dupont code 508-FL-3400, also 55327 & 5558
Best experience of a life time......kudos to loving parents.......I bet there's not a single member here that doesn't have a huge smile on their old mug after reading this post !
Plus that's one terrific Bug restoration......Wow !!! Being eight has benefits .......just make sure the driver has his safety gear on when he takes it out for a test drive !
Wow thats one awesome gift, very happy for John. That was my dream Christmas gift about 55 yrs ago. Thanks to Mike and Dave for helping out. Merry Christmas
Karen, very nice indeed! The kudos for the Dodge color ref came to me a LOOONG time ago from Russ Smith, and he got it from Dewey Bagley. Kart looks exactly like my Pop's first Wasp after he dumped the slow Mc5 for an Mc10. I put a ton of laps on that Wasp. Bob McCulloch sent Pop a very early stroker kit, and away it went.
