That go cart frame just went to the scrap yard along with 1200lbs of other misc crap I had laying around.

If I could make one suggestion, start with a decent frame. That's one of the reasons I scrapped my project. Even my frame (about 10X beefier than your toy kettlecar frame) required so much work to fit a normal sized human that it would have been easier to build one from the ground up. You won't be able to weld to that kettlecar as the tubes are probably like 30guage coat hanger metal, and if you try to drill through & bolt to it, it's just going to fold in half from compromised scructural integrity.
