    Hi all, my name is Jim, I am a retired Marine from Tx. I grew up in the garage of a local Chevy dealer with my dad. I have always loved cars especially hotrods. I've owned a few I wish I still had (haven't we all!)

    I recently found a fibergl*** bodied tube frame go kart. I believe it is an amu*****t park kart as it has an external lever style brake on drivers side. Idont know the mfr or year. It has rack and pinion steering, a kohler engine, belt driven rear differential. and is in very restorable condition. All parts except rear bumper appear to be there. I am trying to determine if this would be a worthwhile project. Any help identfying and appraising it etc. woud be appreciated. Looking forward to talking with you.
