New guy and new to the karting craze.
I'm pretty much a regular, average ordinary guy, well.................maybe not. I don't hunt, I don't fish, I don't golf and I could care less about football. I'm a car guy. Love to build em and drive em. Lately though the cruise nights and car shows are becoming boring to me. To many years I guess of nice car but you should've done this or that. You know what I mean.
Then 6 years ago, along comes this little guy who stole my heart. I want my Grandson to have all the things I didn't have. One of them being a go kart. So I started looking around the inter web and I come across this thing called vintage karting. Huh, now that's something I might could be interested in.
So I ended up buying what I believe is a 1960 Fox Mak-Kart. Keep in mind I don't know much about karting other than I have always thought they were very cool. Oh yeh, Im still going to put together a yard kart for the little guy but I want this one for me.
The kart I bought needs to be restored but hey, I just spent three years building a 32 Ford Roadster from the ground up so I think I can do it. Of course Im going to need direction. Im hoping some of you guys can answer the bunches and bunches of question I have about the karting world.
Im adding a few pictures of what I bought so you can see what I might need to make it worthy
