Oh my goodness....this brings back memories! I had a Simplex Challenger (new in 1961) when I was a kid. I can still remember that logo on the steering wheel...and constantly having to work on the Clinton engine! :)
As a kid, I had this exact kart with twin Clinton A-490 engines. In the day, it was a top rated high quality kart. Tires were all 'narrow' slicks back then. I ultimately junked the Clintons and installed West Bend engines. The McColloch and Techscumsah Power Products were the real hot engines back then is very early '60s. The local motorcycle dealer was the Simplex agency.

NOT an E65. It's an A400/A490/500 Panther engine with E65 decals.
Where did you get decals and upholstery ?
