Since it was crappy out today I fab'd up a TH400 stand and removed the tranny I rebuilt back in August off the eng stand. Works good and cost $5 for casters, The chrome tubing is 1" stock from old desks legs.

That is a cool kart.
By the way, you have a hell of a garage.

Yup, that's what it is. Now I have to figure out how to get the complete car up in the air!

Thats the rig I made up to rebuild the tranny. It swings 360*,mounts to an engine stand and breaks down to store. I used scrap from the shop to make it along with some black pipe, topped it off with soem ugly gold paint!
