This is how it started for most of us.
My son (11) has been asking for a mini bike or go-kart to build for a year now. I didn't really want to get a new frame kit from azusa, I wanted him to start with something that is a little rough as he will learn more and appreciate it more when it's done.
I hit @bonesfab up about one of those mini bike frames that he picked up today and he said come get it.
My son was excited to get something to work on so a quick run out to Jim's house to pick it up and take a look at Jim's new toys.
Took it over to pops house and started taking it apart
He learned a little about the air ratchet and how quickly it smashes your hand
Little shit smashed my thumb with a hammer
Not sure if my eyes welled up because it hurt or it's a cool father son moment/project the latter
Down to the frame
I have had a 2.5hp Briggs set aside for 15yrs for this project, it runs but he is going to take it apart so he can learn how it works as well.
Pops is gonna do some cleaning this week in the shop now that the Model A is gone.
