- I am reunited with my old mini monster truck after decades! Reviving this Carter monster truck go kart was the perfect opportunity to include my daughter, and make her feel like this was HER project. It was a special time for us, and we've been enjoying this thing ever since. Check out the process of getting it running again after it sat for about 25 years untouched on this episode of Hot Rod Hoarders.

Time you spend with your daughter on projects like this will be treasured by you both now and later on. Way to go dad!
Thank you, we have a lot of fun together!
The smile on that Babies face was worth everything !!! Solid GOLD ! Just made my week. Thanks!!!
Thanks for watching Kenneth!
This is the real American dream, not a Tesla or an iPhone. This dad is amazing you can clearly see he can lift this motor by himself but he wanted to give his daughter the enjoyment of being part of the build.
It doesn't matter what it is.... Father /Daughter time is the best time...👍👍👍💖
That is a such a rare treasure, having something from your childhood, resurrected and then having your own kids potentially being able to get joy out of it. Your parents bought you a gift thats lasted a lifetime. Thanks for sharing.
Nothing better than daddy daughter time. Great memories
Thanks for watching Raymond!
My only regret is never having that kind of experience with my dad & as a older person now without kids is not being able to pass that down. I am glad there are fathers like you who can & do share that experience.
Thank you for the kind words Brad!
As soon as she climbed in with you i thought about you and your dad in it and started crying. God bless you sir! Cherish these days... cherish them.
What r u gay
Roger sir i under stund u
@@ilikepizzaroles4632 are you serious ? That's a pretty childish thing to say. Lets grow up little bit guy.
@@ilikepizzaroles4632 obviously you are not a father. You fool
@@ilikepizzaroles4632 just grow up stop being 5 use common sense
Start them young. Lots of memories she will never forget. Someday her little ones will be riding it around as well. Have fun. They grow up fast.
Yes sir! I love watching her grow and learn, but I know that it'll go by way too fast.
My father, my brother and I built several dirt track race cars throughout my childhood, my earliest memories are riding in the 55 Chevy with a roll cage and sheet metal with fire coming out of the fender and getting pulled over for driving on the highway, i was maybe 4 years old and will never forget that feeling. I’m In my fifty’s now and dad is gone but still alive in my memories. Keep working with your children, what you build now will stay with them a life time.
What a cool story, awesome that you got to share something from your childhood with you kid!! Fun!!!
Thank you, it has been a lot of fun! I hope to get some video of her driving it on her own soon...it needs a new belt and some brake work before I turn her loose in it.
Man i clicked on this video for the kart but then as i watched and saw how you got your daughter to help that made me smile more then the project , i miss when my daughter was little and spending quality time together . Then they grow up and time together gets further and further apart . Cherish this time , it will be these times that you will always remember
so cool, the father /daughter bonding, it makes great memories for both, she will remember this ...Always!!
i was thinkin the same thing
Your daughter rocks man way to raise her right!
Now this one hits the heart , brings a guy to tears, nice 👍 making memories all over again, thanks for taking us on your ride, with your daughter, thanks BigAl California.
Thanks for watching Big Al!
Very fun to watch this toy getting back on the road again .
The most heart warming video I’ve seen in years you Sir are a great Dad 🙏🏻
Out of all the go-cart, car, and race car channels i watch this is by far the most wholesome. Who cares if a rich kid can put a ducati motor on a shifter cart when a DAD can restore a 25 year old "swamp rat" with his daughter and you can watch the excitement in both of there faces just to see it run.
Thank you so much, that means a lot!
As far as a child working on full sized cars, I worked on full sized cars and trucks starting when I was just 5 years old and with my dad closely supervising, I never got hurt and now I build and race stuff of my own.
Whatever you decide to do with it the best thing is you get to make it a daddy-daughter project which is fantastic I can just see it when she's in high school and if there's a shop class she can take and show the teacher a few things 😊
true
That almost made me cry seeing the kid getting his gokart. I grew up poor and my dad killed himself as a kid so my mom couldnt afford anything like a go cart or dirtbikes growing up. Im glad you had a good childhood and your giving your daughter the same.
I am very blessed, both as a child and as an adult. Thank you for watching!
you could have lifted that motor up by yourself but letting your kid help made me smile
Awesome 3 generations having fun with monster go cart..
My heart jumped when she dropped the engine and you saved it. PHEW!
me too hopefully he taught her how to life correctly using core and legs i saw it coming though when she said the body was heavy
Man that’s excellent! Memories your daughter will cherish forever. I was smiling the whole video. Great job.
Your a good dad. Can't wait to have these moments with my daughter!
You are one hell of a good man and a great dad !! Very touching video thank you for sharing it with us.
This is cool daddy daughter time
Ohhhh yeahhhhh
God bless you and your family man I got 3 girls and 2 boys its nice to see dads that do their job, too many people I know dont
Thank you Nick! I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas.
I want to build something like that for my little girl. But she a bit young for it. That is so 😎. Best Dad ever!!!
That kid is a prize.
Such an inspiring video.... Thank you so much for sharing!!! That's so awesome how excited she is to ride in it with you!!!
I thought I seen someone driving something like that at a monster truck show thanks for sending me that video have a good day
what a nice project to share with your daughter.
btw like her rudolf cap.
holy cow that thing is fast.
Thank you!
Awww your the best dad ever.
What a difference a few horse power makes, I'm so proud of you allowing and teaching your daughter .
AWESOME man, I miss those times with my son. I was a single Dad. Mini Bikes to Motorcycles Go-Carts to Cars. He had that same Smile your Baby had every time he went by. It was a strange feeling when he started riding my XR 500. I started riding his TT250. I always had a bigger Machine than the Boy. But that TT 250 suited my old butt just fine. Much easier to ride. He is 27 now and Six foot Five. But, we spent all weekend working on Projects. His XR 500 is Scary Fast But my VT 1100 is easier to ride. LOL.I will be Dragging out that old Go-Cart today Thanks to your video. Let's see what he and I can do with it. But first the Roll Cage I built for it has to go. or neither one of us can get into it.LOL Good Day And God Bless you and yours.
Man cruising around with your daughter doing burnouts and working on “swamp rat “ is awesome ,you’ll get no crap from me !! Go dad ,any time with the kiddos is good stuff . Have a 13yr old girl that’s wanting a project car(finally!) and the search is on. Favorite channel on CZcams by far !
Thank you for the kind words! Looking back at this video it's crazy how much Carlee has grown up since then. Maybe I can convince her to work with me on another project soon.
Love it out getting dirty an shell never forget this good dad right there
Love your daughter while she's little once they grow up they're gone make memories while you can
I love working on projects with my daughter. She’s 8 and we’re rebuilding a 1965 Dart Cycle minibike
Good for you involving your daughter.
Best rebuild on utube
Just sold my first car I ever owned. A 64 chevelle. My heart skipped a beat when I saw the tail end sticking out
Love the video
Great story and fun toy
That's way cool you and ur daughter got to work together. I had made a mistake in my past and had to do time. I never got the chance to get to know my daughter's and do stuff together with them. Thanks for sharing this with me.
I got mine Christmas '96 from Santa as well. Found your video as I'm doing research now to restore mine from all those years ago. Really enjoyed the video bud. Bring it to Colorado and lets go cruise the mountains!
I know this is older but dang man, that turned out to be a special Truck didn't it- a connection to your Dad and his Granddaughter. Seeing footage of you as a kid and now her getting into working on it, that is priceless. I do hope she wears a helmet on it when time is ready for her.
Just seeing the Thumbnail was worth me clicking on this video. I've got a daughter and she's 6 yrs old and so I myself got that giggly warm fuzzy feeling that a dad gets when you see the smiles on their little faces when they see something exciting that they themselves helped to accomplish.
We are currently fixing 2 old kids quad-bikes for them to ride around on their grandparents farm. (Them being my 2 boys and my daughter) Funny thing is my daughter has taken more interest in mechanical things like fixing the cars and motorcycle we own.
My boys just love playing MineCraft more than I do!.................... I'd rather fix something and have fun and make use of it than sit around in front of the computer or Xbox so much.
That's so awesome. My daughter always asks if there's something she can help with in the garage...and typically the answer is no because I'm underneath a car, or doing something more strenuous than she can handle. It was pretty rewarding (for both of us) to get her involved in a project. I hope to do it more often.
@@HotRodHoarder I know EXACTLY what you mean, sometimes they want to help but don't realise when their getting in the way or are at risk of even getting hurt.
But seriously, that mini monster truck looks awesome and giving it a better engine was a great idea, perhaps some simple suspension maybe in order?
The main thing is to include our children as best and when we safely can, I remember how much I loved helping my dad and grandfather when they needed a helping hand.
Nowadays I'm the one who steps in to help my dad instead of him, when I see him having problems.
I barely swear much at all, my father on the other hand swears a LOT when he's having troubles, It's hard not to laugh because that makes him feel worse and more frustrated.
Ok dad, allow me to do that for you, "But why?" so you don't have to risk ruining it or having to start allover again.
So I guess having had kids will be worth it in the end. If I help them, then when they get older they can help me if I can do it, Whatever that "it" happens to be.
Very touching video
I got a Honda FourTrax 70 for my 5th birthday. Those were the days man. I was way too big for it by 3rd grade and got more interested in guns and other stuff.
wow this is a such a similar story to what happened with my younger sister and our dad before he passed away, her and dad restored a 1969 Chevy Camaro, dropped a 454 big block in it with a bunch of performance parts and now we still have the car to this day, and still puts down about 550 horses to the wheels, she was 14 when they finished and shes 25 now and still drives it and loves it
Absolutely adorable little girl.
I know the two of you will have a blast with it.Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Larry, she's a sweet kid!
Yep, cool dads!
Great video man more dads need to do the same hope she enjoys it
Wow super super cool toy WoW
You are a good dad and your family was great for getting this for you again maybe your daughter can pass it on to her child one day
Great dad!!! Good job man!!!
Thanks Brandon! Hopefully I can do an update video in the spring with her driving it.
@@HotRodHoarder that would be awesome
น่ารักมากครับ คุณและลูกสาว from thailand
That is just super cool !! God bless you wish had something like this when I was a kid,
Great project. She'll remember it forever, too. 👍👍
Man, I clicked this and watched whole video, Your daughter was so cute, i've never seen big toys like monster trucks, go-karts when you have 5 years old but after 20 years you found, that's why Your Daughter might help pick small engine, Lovely Swamp Rat, sounds fine.
Jakub From Poland.
Fantabulous! Love the video!
needs some lights and a bumper.great video ,cute kid,youre a lucky guy.
You're right about that...I'm a lucky guy!
DUDE YOU HAD A MONSTER TRUCK GO KART !!! As a kid You had to be the most popular guy hood . Or did everybody else have Monster Trucks in your neighborhood ? I had a Skateboard. That was a Carter Brothers Go kart. ORIGINALLY Released as "BIGFOOT " MONSTER TRUCK Deep metallic blue/ Orange and yellow graphics and Chrome Bigfoot sticker ! I still want One 🤘
Great video! Just taking time with your kids means the most to them! I liked the dog that got after you.
That's so cool 😎
Awesome the best helper in the neighborhood I bet she can handle it with a throttle limiter my granddaughter started riding her go kart At 4 years old he's 7 now and racist quarter mile dirt tracks
You were lucky to have the dad you did.....your little girl is lucky to have the dad she does...I see a pattern here... Great vid, and good on you for promoting your daughter's happiness!
Thanks man! I am blessed.
That was definitely your momma handing you your daughter. You look just like her.
Makin memories👍👍👍👍 put a rack n pinion steering on it. Relatively cheap from go powersports
Yeah how that is awesome dude !! Appreciate you sharing I'll be watching for more
Such a beautiful video and story
Thanks John!
@@HotRodHoarder your verry welcome mate. I look forward to days like this with my little girls.
Those tires are your suspension. lower the pressure and see if that doesn't help out some? Good job Dad 😊
You will be surprised what kids remember. Years from now, she'll say to you, remember when we worked on that go cart! My girls ,now in there twenties say that to me. Remember when we raced those lawn mowers. Lol
Haha I sure hope so. She definitely enjoys getting involved with my little projects, so let's hope that continues for a little while.
If you still have this you should but a 150cc pitbike motor in it and put suspension on it, It would be hella fun.
You really should build a custom frame for it with suspension. You could even use an old 4 wheeler frame and suspension plus widen it and use an engine from a wheeler also. Would be badass.
Don't forget a roll cage. 😉
I'd love to do that. I've been a little worried about getting too rowdy with it, considering that a roll over would be BAD. A roll cage is a must if we get more serious about it.
Very cool to get back the Swamp rat..I have an old 6x6 Argo I want to do the Predator treatment to...The 22HP predator should fit in it and would boost the power quite a bit..I had a lot of fun with my son and I playing in the water with it, and it needs to live again.
Brother I'm pretty sure that Argo 6 by 6 is powered by a v twin rotax engine you might want to rethink that situation or at least do a little studying beforehand I don't claim to know anything but I double check that horsepower and torque situation
Your an awesome Dad!
I like that u doing it for your daughter man like yo pops did for u I love that big ups to u I hope she has a blast on it
That’s a sweet little monster truck but nothing beats getting to bond with your kids. Great video, Brother👍🏽
This is beautiful I definitely going to do with my kids
That's really cool to do that with your daughter! I want to do that kind of stuff with my kids too, when they are a little bigger and you should add some wheel spacers for the turning problem!
wow I want a go kart like that!
Beautiful & Perfect...
GET SOME!
Wish I had a dad like you.
Awesome Priceless moments..Enjoy..
You are a great dad!!
Cool video I like the back story and video you have of you getting it when you were younger. By the way nice looking Buick gn in the garage @ 6:41
Thanks Joe, the Grand National has been a challenging project, but they are really cool cars.
Your an amazing DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those engines run forever on a tank of gas too!!
Yeah I filled it up and we rode for quite a while those two days. I went to check it and it still had plenty of fuel in it. Kinda crazy how efficient these engines are.
Короша, красотка
I wanna do this for my little niece, she a bit young tho. wanyways, you make me smile bc im sick, best dad ever!
That's so awesome, new subscriber, glad of ya daughter n family working on a project together. Thanks again from Virginia
Great video, Love it.
Thank you!
I need to do something like this with my girls.
Could go down a size or two and tires make it fun way to make memories
Great dad👍
