where's steve miller when ya need him??
regardless the kart from the pix looks well thought out and square.
there's a possibility it's a home built special using bug frame parts.
the lettering in the back is the main reason i hesitate to call it home built.
it's a mystery kart for now.
regardless it's a decent looking frame that looks very drivable.
if i had it i'd check the frame over carefully clean it up replace the tires and run it as found.
maybe save the seat back lettering while you're at it.
my next question is technical stuff about the front axle.
it looks weird (maybe bent back /offset??) but may only be the pix.
get some close ups for us of
the spindles and carriers
the welds at the frame
and a few pix so we can see tube conditions on the axle.
if the front axle is in good repair it would make a decent rear engine kart.
