Just signed up...thanks Cuda for telling me about this site!
Thats my Barstool racer I just built. I took a Coyote race cart & shortened the whell base to 29", mounted a std barstool over the biggest motor that would fit without cutting the barstool. Re-directed the steering & that's basically the major amount of work. I found a 6.5hp Tecumseh motor for $250 incl shipping + $50 for a clutch. There are hop up kits available, remove governor, heavier valve springs & header +-10hp. She will run faster than you really want to go +- 40mph, very top heavy. So for about $550-00 Ii have a Barstool racer, I have seen similar ones for around $1800-2000, which I just could justify buying one when in a couple hours I could build one. She is presently being powdercoated & I will post a pic soon.
Later Johno
