    Default Just picked up a new M81 for my son

    This will be a fun project for my son and I. A little paint, find a chassis and add the turbo!

    Those are hard to find. I have had a 65 and a 67 before. Make sure that you build some good nerf bars to protect that body before you give it to your son.

    Right I have been looking a long time. The other one I bought turned out to be some cheapo copy of this and a different size so I moved it on to someone else. Once I find a proper chassis I'll build some protection as one curb hit would do some serious damage.

    Thanks for that article which I found it in my archives too. Also have seen pics of the Image Mustang which shares many of the M81 body parts. I am also in contact with a guy back east which has one of these go karts as new still in the crate. Hoping to negotiate it out of his hands at some point. I love the hunt for stuff like this!

    Did you see this picture in my collection from the day Jackie Stewart was at Summit Ford back in 1982.

    Yours looks a lot better than mine. I guess I will have to find a chassis for mine now. I had been putting it off.

    Nice score! More pics please as I bought a chassis and think I need something different to make it work better.
