Quite a few updates on the gocart! Just about everything except the wheels were from the neighbor's abandoned yard. They told us we could have whatever we wanted though, so it's OK. haha. Actually, the design was modified so that we could just use what was laying around in their yard.

Not perfectly centered, but close enough for the speeds I'm going to let a 9 year old go around the yard:

After the chain!:


Piece of angle metal cut from one of those hose roll up things (in the neighbor's yard):


Just last night we got the "steering wheel" on. I'll send pictures of those later. It takes like 8 hours to email pictures from our iphone. I'm not sure if the iphone has a little 2400 baud modem inside it?
