Tin Lizzie go cart modified

back in May of 2021 a Friend of mine found this Tin Lizzie I bought it off Him . The fiberglass fenders were broken, 2 of the wooden spoked wheels had rotted spokes . It was mostly there . Here is my build thread .

 

I replaced the wheels with some minibike tires and wheels. With the help from a Friend who is a machinist. He made hubs for the rear axle and drilled a bolt pattern to bolt the wheels on . Took the fenders off . Converted it to chain drive with a centrifugal clutch . Got the engine running.

 

I felt the car sat too high . So I built a new frame to drop the car . Changed the steering to a rack and pinion. I used parking brake levers for 1966 C 60 Chevy truck for the radius rods .

 

The brake lever is out of a 1970 F500 Ford truck. The manual disk brake is off a Harley golf cart .

 

Made it to the local Christmas parade . I ran out of time and hitched a ride behind a local VFD grass fire fighting rig . The carb developed issues .

 

Very cool....looks like it was a old Shriners tin lizzy parade car?
Looks like alot of fun.

 

Yes

 

Well ain’t that just the coolest little thing !!

 

Here’s the manufacturer’s tag . T-10 Tin Lizzie . The seat back is shaped for 2 riders . The later models the back was changed to one curve to accommodate a larger person.
Thank You everyone

 

Same manufacturer as my Snapper Comet 30 rear engine mower

 

Looks great Kurte! I need to take it for a spin sometime.

 

Colby converted his to electric drive after he restored it.
