On this thrilling episode of Donut, our intrepid team embarks on a daring quest to build a go-kart from scratch, armed with nothing but sheer determination and a Chicago Electric 170 Volt Welder. Eschewing the easy route of using a pre-built kit, they dive headfirst into the world of fabrication, measuring, cutting, and welding metal to create their own unique frame. With a nod to the experts at Go Power Sports, Donut sets out to craft a go-kart that not only screams speed but also exudes individuality and craftsmanship.

As sparks fly and metal melds together, Donut takes us on a journey through the intricacies of MIG welding, emphasizing the crucial role of gas shielding in creating strong, durable welds. With each piece meticulously notched and fitted, the frame begins to take shape, showcasing the team's newfound skills and unwavering determination. Through trial and error, they navigate the challenges of metalworking, learning valuable lessons along the way and honing their craft with each weld laid down.

With a keen eye for detail and a touch of creativity, Donut modifies the design to cater to a more adult-friendly audience, ensuring comfort and safety without compromising on style. From adjusting the steering hoop to adding safety bars, every decision is made with precision and a dash of rebellious spirit. As the final pieces come together and the wheels are mounted, the team stands back to admire their handiwork, a testament to their grit, passion, and willingness to push the boundaries of what's possible in the world of go-kart fabrication.
