Blokart Facelift
So I have two Blokarts and one of them was getting really crusty. Actually I bought it this way from a seller who misrepresented it several years ago
and it was full of rust.  I decided to take my beat up and rusty one, the one that
never really went out to play, and stripped it and had it sandblasted, powdercoated and a new floor made out of diamond plate. Now this one is going
to have some nice upgrades and become my new fave...
Got about $85 bucks in it including the powdercoating, a few new pieces of hardware, stainless rivets and new diamond plate floor. Not bad for a
facelift! Hoping SANTA WIFE delivers a new big foot fork so I can put a barrow tire on the front for better softish sand runs....

Yea, I thought it would stand out on the beach. This one turned out so cool that I'm thinking of doing the same thing to my "good" one. Its got a few
small blemishes, doesn't need a face lift yet but I think a safety orange or red or bright green maybe would be cool.
