!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! As of just a few days ago now though, we have upgraded the pre-2003 bodywork to more modern UNICO bodywork in a serious DIY job. Cutting, grinding, welding, and more welding. we spent 3 days getting each piece fitting right. Some other updates since my post nearly 6 months ago, we have raced the kart twice at the not-so nearby Sandy Hook Speedway. First time out, ran one lap then spun and stalled in the first corner. Not to be disheartened by that, I got it going the subsequent sessions and was a on a roll. I received praise from other drivers for pushing the kart as fast as I was the first session out. It's been a long winter waiting for the season to start up again though. In about 2-3 weeks or so we will hitting the track hopefully. We are getting some new rubber as the YHC Bridgestones we have are ancient. As I've said before, my ultimate goal is to get into formula open-wheel racing across the pond. Hopefully I can be oppo's resident racer!

I say the first decal on that fresh new body work should be an oppo sticker, but thats just me. :P

I spent the last couple of weeks overhauling a snowblower with a motor from 1968. It's running like a top now. It got me thinking that I should build a kart and get my race on. I poked around the interweb for a kit, but I'm not finding much. Any oppos have a suggestion of where to get started?

You know what, I think I might just do that. I'll have to convince my dad though since we plan to do a very striking decal scheme to it. Anywhere I can find some oppo decals?

They aren't really huge, so it shouldn't disrupt any color scheme you had planned, plus they come in a bunch of different colors too, so it would match pretty much whatever you want it to.
