They were built in Bakersfield, Ca from about 59 to 61 or 62
Nice kart, heavy but handles good- I have a '60

Thanks Steve, I checked with Vince and they're down on his mile long list of projects..
He's always the first guy I check when I need something weird- I couldn't have finished my

See you soon

engine with an integral head

I've heard that some of you have had good luck with getting 820 bores replated. Have you had it done with chrome or nikasil? Has anyone here had cylinders done, do you recommend anyone, and what is the going rate? I've got a few 700 blocks with worn chrome that I'd like to have done- can it be done ...
