sandrail fabrication & shop tour ***56k warning 76 pictures!!***
 
We went out to the shop today to piss around on the buggy and visit, i brought my good camera this time so i took lots of pics.

This is what my dad and my 13 year old brother were doing when we showed up. my dad's the big guy and my brother is the white kid with his pants around his ankles...

and now for a bit of a tour
i started taking random pics of the shop and the yard, some of the old toys that are sitting outside. some old trikes for parts and projects, some in running condition that are used for winter ice racing on the river.

looks like hillbilly heaven, i love it. those VW vans go for some good money when restored, you might even find some people that would pay some decent cash just how they sit. and i ------- love the 3-wheeler rear end on that go kart thang. looking good dude, looks like you guys have a lot of fun out there

Very nice. Im in Calgary. Well, I live in Calgary but I work on the road along with the rest of the province (oilfield).

I drive by there quite often actually. I spend most of my time in Rocky Mountain House. That looks like a KILLER shop and a kickass project!

i'm not sure what it's off of. some kind of tractor or heavy machinery of some sort.


so after 10+ years of not having much attention, steven decided he wanted to do some upgrades to the 'go kart'

yea that's a genuine OEM honda muffler, from my old civic hahaha

we were also rigging up brakes for it, since it never had brakes in all the time since we built it.

we never did finish either project, i will post pics up when we do though cause i think it'll be hilarious.

Jugding by the color and design it looks like a X71 series Detroit Diesel. Spent alot of time sitting behind a 671 with dual blowers. Have about 1500 Sea hours.

any idea where to find the conversion kit to change it over to a pulley drive rather than the hydraulic drive it has now?

the reason you probibly never finished that go kart with the honda trail 90 motor in it is becasue you knew it was going to be slow as balls unless your under 12. sure it would be some fun but it looks like you already got enough better toys to be messing around with then that thing. wish i had a hillbilly shop with tons of tools though. if i could turn my granpda shop into mine it would probibly look like that haha. its got junk accumilated over 60+ years sorta what yours looks like, but with allitle more dust. and without the sandrails and the huge welder, he's got one old school stick welder that im afriad to try out because theres wires that arent covered very well, and i dont want to die. ive already been shocked by a 220 outlet once luckily i wasnt grounded because i was in my house.
