With Leroy getting a body now someone needs to carry the cart badge.

[@altonbarbee8864]

Cleetus will have that body destroyed in a month so Leroy will be back body less soon enough.

[@JoeVinson]

They gave away Leroy Jr.

[@bepbep7418]

​@altonbarbee8864 good thing they made a mold and can just pop out body after body like they do for the monster trucks they make bodies for 😂

[@freedomfox8183]

​​@@altonbarbee8864well Einstein that's why they have a mold so they can keep making them just like the monster trucks who destroy them every event😂

[@2dazed685]

​@altonbarbee8864 the car travels a few inches. With the body will come more changes. Body won't change till next season.

[@DrewJackson73]

Leroy went to college and is now a dentist! 😂

[@noelsooley2657]

Or a lawyer?? 😂😂

[@altonbarbee8864]

Leroy the dentist, Leroy the savage, actually about the same thing.

[@Keiththescoutcrazy]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@EvilEndz]

@@altonbarbee8864 My old dentist was a Dr Savage, he didn't like to numb anything which made life fun.

[@ronaldyates1124]

No his brother did 😂

[@edrannou3914]

I love all the blue witness marks for quick visual look over in the pits.

[@deanoscott]

That dash bracket is a beautiful thing.

[@KCadbyRacing]

Wow. I watched this after the tear down vid and it's like whoa, that clutch/pressure is really loading/pulling the engine down 😲

[@kingleebz1188]

Leroy's new body is sick as heck

[@Icer602]

How many kids ol' Leroy got? 😆 Dang!😂🤘🤙

[@billpotmesil]

Eddie was sooooo excited!

[@Allen.McCoy.]

You gotta love being original. 😂😂😂

[@johnlombardi1021]

hurray EDDIE

[@Fabrice1970]

A KSR video on Friday. What a nice intro for the weekend

[@troydecker9685]

Looks amazing. Eddie did a fantastic job Kevin. You got some talented people working for you. Loving the content.

[@kennynelson2269]

Most definitely some talent under the roof of that little shop.. awesome job eddie you've worked your ass off and it payed off buddy..

[@EddyElder99]

Thank you!

[@keithmacdonald5848]

The crazy canuk would love that go cart out on the ice up here, great to see a project back up and running😅

[@bdd1469]

I've owned a lot of toys. Nice cars, fast cars, big trucks , big Jeeps... But my Vette Kart was the most fun I have ever had. Even a stock 350 tpi is enough motor to have fun when you remove 1000 lbs from an already fairly lightweight car. You have not really lived until you've been down a dirt road at 100+ in a Corvette with no doors. And the looks you get when you climb test hill at Silver lake sand dunes, or float over a mudbog that is filled with stuck trucks and Jeeps, in a Corvette, are priceless .

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

That sounds awesome!!!

[@ragingcurrent3250]

this is pretty cool, excited to see more on this build!

[@thef1sh17]

I love all the 50s and 60s buildings in small florida towns. back when architecture and style mattered.

[@daboss117fly]

Leroy vs Leroy Jr!? KSR can make that happen before Leroy gets his body on!

[@stephcooper5998]

Boys and their Toys! To borrow from the A Team, "love it when a plan comes together."

[@saddletramp6529]

Ya'll are getting there!!! Good job Eddie!! You guys are killer!!!

[@Kevin_Ruz]

As a person from SE PA. I love the use of the word "jawn". 😂

[@CarsCatAliens]

I use my crowns to write Jawn ova my glass of wudder.. lol, I lived in Philly a d right outside Philly all of my 42 years

[@CarsCatAliens]

I got in a fight in elementary school with a kid (bst friend) was from Michigan over how I say "Wudder" and not whater.. He ran home bloody, we were not friends after that one lol

[@Kevin_Ruz]

Yep tawk about it down the shore or over by the crick. Oh and don't tawk about Chester.... Just pretend that place doesnt even exist 🤣 I spent 38 years in Delco. Now I'm just one state lower, but drive back up everyday for work.

[@theaquarian5849]

Another successful shakedown 👍

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

ish.......lol.

[@samsonitemike3127]

Damn nice build!! You guys are killing it!! If you get a chance Kevin, once it's done, I for one would love to see this thing running on the track!!!

[@jaysonG2010]

Nice seeing Kev with belt and Eddie rocking no seat😂😂

[@Mohawk21-oi1ni]

Bring OUT THE TRANS AM RUNNER! LEE NEEDS TO GUEST STAR MORE!

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

We will be at Pitt Race with Lee in another month or so.

[@davidowen888]

Im sorry I hadn't watched this video earlier 😔 but i enjoyed every minute of it Great Job Team KSR 👏 ☮️

[@Josh-wm1pq]

What an original idea.

[@freedomfox8183]

I mean he could have got a mustang like everybody else on the planet but where's the fun in that and if you paid attention it's only while it's being built it's not going to stay like that... Watching the video first can save you from looking like a jerk

[@NickKautz]

I would have a addressed the likeness to Leroy immediately , because that's what everyone is thinking. If you don't address it , it looks like you want people to think it's original while knowing it isn't. The words "road race build" instead of "go cart" might have been a better choice.

[@051570orion]

That's going to be Awesome looking when the body goes on , but it still looks cool without. Watching these videos really makes me want to hurry up and finish my several projects , I'll get there 👍

[@paleggett1897]

This unit has loads of fun and adventures ahead of it❣️

[@deejsilvosa6610]

In all honesty any c5 corvette would make a perfect go kart / street beast

[@indianaslim4971]

Thanks for the close up camera work towards the end of the video..well done!

[@E.T.GARAGE]

👍That C5 Go Cart came out real nice 👍

[@xklopan]

Fellow iRacer here too 😊

[@Analogtodigital]

I really like the MaxxECU. Dad and I put one (STREET)on our 190E. The software also has the ability to sniff and record CAN data, so you can do some really cool stuff.

[@InnocentMiscreant]

I can't wait to see it on the track

[@dustinkjersem7395]

Extremely clean af work ksr. Fab and knowledgeable is on point

[@R32Danny]

Looks like a early Leroy! super cool to see

[@CLCIII]

Sounds like a plan to me! Hope it does everything and more, you plan to do with it. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇

[@johnbuckley2182]

Thanks for going over all that was done to the car.

[@traviscoxracing]

Good job guys. Did you see cleetus mentioned you on his 1320 bio video about putting Leroy on holley way back in the day

[@gafrers]

Love it, Quality project as always. Of course like this it reminds me of Leroy. KSR FTW

[@JMRAUTOMOTIVE]

Much love form Guam/ Washington state 🤙🏾🇬🇺🇺🇸🍻

That is an amazing Corvette. Great work.

[@patt20b]

Hey guys there’s nothing like taking a finish build out for a first drive. I miss my shop sometimes. But I’m still building cars for my self and my friends. And my boys. Coming soon to outta control racing KZbin channel. Love you guys and Cain hard.

[@Timbo428CJ]

Definitely an oversized killer go kart !

[@user-oq8ym2fs3p]

That’s a nice roll cage! Gonna add some real body and frame rigidity . I am designing a cage for a 350Z with a LS . This was a great idea on some design . Awesome job guys!!!!! Awesome car but needs some more ponies!!

Oh he'll yes, Leroy's brother Earl

Always good to see a garage queen take its maiden voyage. I agree that clutch pedal stall is not a good sign but not the end of the world.

[@94XJ]

3.268 stroke of a 4.8 with a 3.898 bore of an LS1/LS6 would be 312 cubic inches or 5.1L for those wondering :)

[@NorthernHDrider]

Brought my go cart out last weekend. Not sure how to send pictures. 9 hp Honda. Grew up running a track. Cool job

Neat buggy.... good content and thanks 🔧👍

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

That's an incredible Corvette cart! Very obvious the work is top notch. It is a little suspicious the RPMs drop with the clutch in. Hopefully not a crankwalk related issue. Better to fix now than at the track. 🙃

Very cool
