When it comes to classic cars, documentation of change is often enough to preserve or even increase the value of a given vehicle. If Elvis bought "Herbie the Love Bug" from the Prince of Monico in 100 point Concours condition, brought it home rattle-caned it red and installed red velour interior. Sold it to a hot rod shop in California who saved all the old parts and drag raced it. Then Magnum PI traded his 308GTS Ferrari for it and did a complete restore to the Herbie car...as long as it was all documented, the history is worth more than the car. Imagine when some kid in 2083 gets this thing, does his homework, finds some history on the way-back machine ... World Famous Go Kart KZbinrs modified this thing 60 years ago, and he has all the parts for the basket-case Tin Lizzy. After restoration it is appraised at $456,529,683.11 (equal to $684.56 in 2022 dollars). Hypothetically of course.

Pretty cool model t now guys, a bit of updating is a good thing. Love what you guys do with your projects.

[@Hellsong89]

Yeah things like steering bushings could be upgraded, same with steering wheel connection. Get the slap out of it and its different animal all together. For more upgrades i'm bit mixed.. since you just cant get the original stuff no more so upgrading it fully is kinda ruining it, but other hand you get more usability out of it.

[@DJswope73]

The Model t went hot rod 🔥 I love it. Looks so sick with that stance. A mad max style rat rod would be so cool, if it wasn't so old and you guys weren't trying to preserve it

Good job on keeping the integrity of the go kart guys. Red Beard's Garage is doing something similar, and I winced when they took a cut off wheel to the fiberglass arches on theirs.

[@peterchristlieb]

Love those 10" wheels on the front, I've got three of them on different mini bikes. Here in South LA, The trend is gear them real high and make the motor stout. Its pretty scary on a 5" or 6" turf tire, the 10" Azusa and MoPed tire makes them way manageable above 40 mph. My go to bike has the GPS front fork kit as well, made a huge difference. That thing needs a Pick Up Bed and a couple of big square lantern headlights.

[@tkskagen]

Can I get a "HELL YEAH BROTHER" with Chareles being other C&C Team!

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

Hey C&C That model t body looks relatively simple to build my thoughts are this used sheet metal for the body and a custom 2 or 4 seat frame maybe engine and drive train you have a lot of options Lawn mower transaxle Normal gocart drive train Maybe modified automotive drivetrain Be really cool if yall built a Model t inspired cart that yall could thrash on or drive around at swap meets hell even a parade car to adverise the channel or advertise go power sports

[@TylerDuysen]

its not a mower transaxle all mowers are vertical drive and use vertical shaft engines (besides a couple 70s cub cadets which have a 90 degree gearbox to run the belt drive) this is a custom built system

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

@@TylerDuysen first off i didnt say that thing had a mower transaxle i said a mower transaxle could be an option for a custom build Also no all mowers are vertical shaft ive seen and owned multiple 70's and early 80's johndeere mower that were horizontal shaft engines and had a belt that turned turned 90 degrees via belt guides look em up im sure youll find videos here on youtube good day sir

[@TylerDuysen]

@@GeorgiaRidgerunner it was how you worded it also i shouldve said they all use vertical shaft rear transaxles because they do and those engines still have a vertical pulley that runs the pulley in the rear and the mower deck the horizontal shaft and pulley just spins a horizontal pulley which engages the vertical pulley

[@danielhughes9556]

I like this cart. It's a neat lil cart. I love how you guys DIDNT DRILL THE BODY, and made everything reversible. I don't think the wheel style goes with the body though. And way to much poke in the rear. Either way. Another fun one from the cars and camera boys

[@TylerDuysen]

it fits the hotrod model t and model a cars though

[@danielhughes9556]

@@TylerDuysen I kinda thought if they removed the running boards it might look better. To me they just don't work. I've been a fan of those cars (real size) for years, but this just doesn't work for me But, I'm not cars and cameras. They are.

Dad and I reworked a small model T parade cart for a friend. We had a ton of fun working out all the gearing to make it suitable for his young grandchildren. When we were finished it creeped for their young age but, we left growing room to make it fun for adults when needed/wanted.... Great video, thanks for sharing! it was not a Shriners Model T, this was a fiberglass body and the truck style.

[@flynnfowler2198]

Thank the godz iv been waiting for this for three weeks. Yes finally. as soon as I saw the hot rod rendering I was hooked.

[@goodstuff]

you guys are doing something that imo, even tho appreciated is under appreciated. for example, some guy is modfiying his go-kart, same engine, maybe has the same problems, needs the same fixes, is stuck. he cant find your video with one search, but if he keeps digging he should and all his problems and 12-24hrs of trouble shooting is corrected in 30mins-1hr. I hope this channel stays up forever and helps people for decades if not centuries to come. keep goin!

[@l.greenemachine66]

You can drive it in the parade still after you put the other tires back on it. And with the faster motor, you do burnouts on the parade route all day long. LOL

[@Ogsonofgroo]

What fun! Best watch of a build I've seen in a while and can't wait for the next one. Love that you saved as many original parts as possible too :) Bolt on, bolt off, how about a nice bolt-on chrome roll-bar behind the driver's death-grip ;) (ZZ-Top wrap? lol) Cheers from PNW Canada!

Could you get a more positive engagement on the reverse pully by filling the pulley's belt groove up with a piece of belt just the circumference of the groove so that the friction is more efficiently transferred for reverse?

Nice 👍 if anything far as I'm concerned you made it better then original.

[@bigdadgigachad3042]

You guys should try and build two more and do your own Shriners show. I remember the old guys putting on a show with about 20 of these little old cars with their red Shriner caps on their heads, raising $$ for the children's hospital. Maybe you guys could find some other cool Shriner vehicles for sale. Build your own a bit bigger with better suspension would be cool too. Those rims and tires bring it to the next level man, gorgeous

[@bradjohnson5643]

my only gripes are 1: The regular washers you used to secure the rear wheel hubs to the axle. I personally would have used hardened washers instead. 2: Adding that much HP I would do something to repair/replace the front axle control arms. Other then that this project is awesome. I used to love seeing the Shriners in there carts during parades. I've never seen one this cool though. The tires make it for me.
