A box of money enough to pay for a rebuild with a stroker kit with Butler Performance

A basic manual tire changer and various add-ons to make it more user friendly.

Thinking an engine run stand or an inflatable paint booth. Have an engine I'd like to work out before installation and also plan on spraying the 67 GTO by early spring and another car later next year.

I almost bought a combination gift for myself - and 2 nephews 1 niece - yesterday/today.
But talked myself out of doing it.
Tractor Supply Co. put a mini-Willys Army Jeep Go Cart on sale from 2700 to 2000 for Black Friday.
I went and looked at one in person Sunday.
Today it dropped another 200 if purchased online. $1800
Had to fight temptation all day

Really cool go cart with 125cc "Honda-Copy" motorcycle engine with 3spd semi-automatic and reverse.
Electric start , posi axle, hydra disc brake , led lights etc..
Spare tire and spare gas can mounted on the back. Coil spring shocks.
25-30mph : stock

The reviews on them from the past 3 years don't mention any engine problems.

Main complaints were :
ALL the nuts and bolts need to be checked for proper tightness before any use.
Nerds were going full steam ahead without checking anything and having various failures from loose bolts caught too late.

Drivetrain and Suspension are more robust than the Chassis.
Too much off-road type whamming and banging WILL create frame cracks.

Drive chain from engine to axle is quite long.
Has a spring loaded chain tensioner mid-ship underneath that can suffer abuse when bottoming out over peaks or rougher terrain.

Adults could moderate level of abuse and be fine.
Kids will want to beat the hell out of them like a disposable toy / real jeep.

I still Want one, but don't Need one.
Would rather get the kids into dirt bikes with the money this spring.
They already have a little Honda crf 50cc

Carb issues more than anything for me but if you have the reviews that is something.

Will be fun either way I'm sure.

Just yesterday I think I saw one, at least it looked like that.
A guy (not a kid) was driving down the road in our community.
(lots of golf carts here)

If I were in a golf cart community/scenario I would definitely get one..
In the review section most of the shared pictures and videos are of adults driving them around with dogs or kids in them.

The months I've been going through immunotherapy,approximately 6 takes about 5 hrs each one,for lymphoma. I had my last treatment about 3 weeks ago. I'm sitting at Hillman Arnie Palmer complex in Greensburg, Pa. Now waiting to get a PET scan done to see if treatments have worked. This complex is about
4 miles from my home. I see Lymphoma
specialist next week at Hillman Shadyside to get
final determination. Last time I was there about
2 months ago Dr seemed happy with my blood
work. Soooooo. I bought a new Lionel o gauge Santa Fe J 2-10-4 steam engine with all the bells,whistles,steam exits,smoke. It's the one steam engine I do not have.im into PRR and Santa Fe.
