Here is the sketch of what I wanted it to look like

(pencil doesn't scan too well)
I kept a sketch pad for ideas, and designs that popped in my head. Of coarse, the final design was not exactly as I thought it would be, but it was surprisingly close.
The two main parts needed for this project were and engine and a frame, and I needed to find some metal to use on the frame.
Yes, I could have bought the metal, but this was a budgeted project, so I looked around for some scrap metal. Fortunately I had a neighbor that was fixing up their house and had a pile of scrap metal from a railing they took down.
Perfect!! One inch square tubing, and pleanty of it.
I wish I took more pictures, but I always get distracted from building that I end up taking pictures at the end of the day.
So here are some pictures of the back end of the go kart.
