Hi All, here is a few images of a go cart my son and I rescued from a farmers field. On closer inspection it proved to be in worse shape than we realised. We decided to modify it to suit our tastes. I made up my own tube bender and we sourced a couple of old lawn tractor tires for the back. It...

I wanted to build my own car trailer but make it interesting. I sculpted in a set of 59 Caddy tail lights and frenched in the marker lights in the wedge tail.

This is a small but effective mig welding cart we made up from bits of left overs around the shop. The tank is held on with a transport truck muffler clamp. Steers with "Hurst" shifter handle. ( couldn't resist ).
