We fully restored a vintage go kart van with a modern engine, steering and much more! The van was restored to look like an O'Reilly Auto Parts go kart and with the help of CW wraps in Post Falls Idaho we nailed it! #OReillyPowered

    I'm surprised you guys havent made a heat exchanger for the woodstove yet and run hoses to a radiator on the opposite end of the shop with a fan. I'm sure you have all the stuff around the shop somewhere to rig somethin up. Would help keep it a lot warmer i'd think, better utilization of the heat you're already making. Maybe like a few dozen feet of copper tube wrapped around the chimney, or even just something to sit flat on top of the firebox

    Thanks for making clean content that both my 3 1/2 year old son and I can watch and enjoy together! Keep up the great work!
  • That was so much of a blast from the past for me, these came out after my childhood... but still. The cool kids got go-karts for Christmas. The real cool kids got bodied go-karts for Christmas. In the 70s and 80s the van and pickup body go-karts were very popular gifts for kids.

    it is currently 85 degrees in arizona as I'm watching this, I'm amazed that its still so cold where yall are at, but as someone whos done race car and fiberglass/composite work for 3 1/2 years before i got injured, you seem to have done a pretty good job doing a nice quick patches and repairs on the body. Using the tape as a backing is something i had to learn on my own to bridge simple holes but you seem to have thought about using that way faster than i did, when you do that though its always best to do a nice wet down of resin on the tape/area before you lay the glass down to prevent the air bubbles you got. All in all, 8/10, good job.
