Richies Shuttle

Well here is the next project on the block after the workhorse and the marathon are somewhat finished.It will see a wash down and then a blue tarp for a while.Plans are a gas rear axle and an 18hp vanguard mounted behind the axle,little bit lower and 10" aluminum wheels/low profile tires.I picked it up for $150.00 and other than some hairline cracks around the floorboards,the body is in great shape.It has a little bit of rust on the frame by the battery tray but that will all get replaced.I should have it done in a couple of years...........

There ya go! Nice cart. Reminds me of "The Taxi"

Lower it or lift it? That is the question.My son said I should lift it.... go with maybe some 23" tall tires.I was going to go 10" wheel with low profile tires.Give me some opinions...........

Richie, you KNOW you got to lower that ride.......

I'd take it back! It's dirty and the stake side is broken! Jeez, does it even run? Oh ya...This is Richies car, It will turn out awsome

I'd say 23's and lowered

richie · 05-30-2010, 12:02 PM

23's AND lower it? Not asking for much are we?.......

I think I am leaning towards lowering it if I can get the 18hp under the rear body.Might have to raise the bed sides and floor a bit.................

I've never had a Vangaurd/Honda not fit in a standard height cart. I think you'll find more room then you think. Then again, it would be cool to see the engine sticking out the back end with a "snorkel" or something like that. The concern would be clearance on the front end for turning. From you...it's not asking or dreaming to much. Later my freind.
