Help with kart identify

I just looked at a kart that was buried in the snow and hard to identify. The previous owner said it had a indy style body and he removed it. What I saw was a rear engine kart from the 60's-70's? with mechanical disc brake, sprocket hub that resembled a fox wheel (deep aluminum with large holes), the front end had suspension with real tall spindle brackets that had springs on the top side of both. The steering tie rods and shafts were on the back side of the steering shaft closer to the seat. There was not any seat, but had a nut pad installed on the lower part of the steering upright that looked original. Fox pedals that were mounted on a enduro style front porch. The wheels were wider and probably newer style resembling a douglas wheel or a trophy style. I did not have my camera at the time, so no pix. Any ideas guys?

Take pictures! LOL

I stopped one day when I found a kart in the front yard for sale. I looked and looked it was a Fox like the one I had but so cobbled up with welded on plates etc.....I didn't recognize it.

Yes Rob I agree, but it was buried in about 18"of snow & I was without the camera. It appeared to be original, did not look like any extras had been welded on. Any one got any ideas?
