Custom golf cart

[Maxwell-8 4,275]

I thought this was going to be a custom golf cart, not a full blown lowered pickup truck! haha

Looks great!  

 

That electric motor has some work to do!

LoL. Thanks. 

I will admit this project has grown a bit from the original thought. The build thread title is now a bit deceiving.

 

This was a different golf cart I acquired.

The electric one is still on the trailer.

Turning out great. Love the look.

Kind-a wished you lived in Florida. I hate to see this build stop due to weather. If I ever win the lotto.

"We're going to need a bigger engine" LoL

That thing looks great. Looked like a truck right from the beginning IMO.

Oh it won't stop due to weather. Actually in my line of work the colder and crappier the weather the more time I have to work on it.

Yes we are lol.

 

Well actually when I started it I had a standard UTV Side x Side look in mind. 

When I started setting the parts on hand in place it really wasn't tripping my trigger.

So a quick shifting of gears I revisted my parts pile and thats how this all happened.

A roadster pickup wasn't even on the radar.

A little work on the arm rest today.

Everything is going to bolt together.

With the questions the wife has been asking I can see a door and roof upgrade of sorts it the future.

[wallfish 16,967]

Yeah, that old 40s curved roof style would look cool but that's a lot of metal beating if ya don't have something on hand. Luv that old style look!

How about a convertible?

The convertible top is probably the way to go. Easy on easy off. Maybe even a Jeep CJ  type bikini top. If I go soft top in some way I might be able to forgo building doors

[wallfish 16,967]

Or, your almost home with an early 20s side and roof like this, no doors.

Small boat bimini top?

Just throwing $&it to see what sticks

I like the idea of a bikini top like a jeep. You could put a hoop behind the seat on the cab uprights.

The C cab style isn't a bad idea. The top should be removable. So I could let the wind blow thru my hair 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The hoop has crossed my mind. I've been thinking a DOM pipe crash hoop. In case this thing ends up on its side somehow.

Uh oh, that's extra! We're going to need an even bigger engine than the big one now!

It doesn't say in the thread. The only option i have at the moment is to use 1 of these.

Started on front fenders today. 

I knew there was a front fender in there somewhere.

 

[Oldskool 6,640]

It's been slow going with Christmas just around the corner.

Some progress on the front fenders.

Some brackets are under construction now. Hope they are mounted soon.

 

I really need an insert for that grille but nothing has popped up yet.

Appears to be an early one. AC series perhaps?
