THANKS FOR THE WLCOME OlBOY! YEAH I THINK I SAW THAT ONE, THE MOTOR MIGHT RUN, BUT THE DRIVE SYSTEM IS STILL ELECTRIC OR MABY GAS. BUT NOT HOOKED UP TO A V-8

Welcome to the forum BIG STEVE.

There's pics of a couple different carts with V8's floating around. One with a Big Block Chevy engine mounted in front and the other one with the Small Block Chevy engine. I don't have any details on either one though...

IF YOU LOOK REAL HARD, YOU WILL SEE A FORD 9" OUT OF A CUSHMAN IN THERE! ......WITH A FEW MODS LIKE A 3 LINK, SWAY BAR, AND COILOVERS....DID I MENTION THE 11" DISK BRAKES? ANY ONE CAN MAKE SOMTHING FASTER, BUT CAN YOU STOP IT?!

Welcome Steve!

Cool ride, but I fail to see the golf cart in it. But, so what! Is she a runner?

It looks like a nice setup. No where near enough roll cage for me though...
Other than that it looks like a very well built buggy...

HMM, Y'ALL HAVE NO SENSE OF IMAGINATION. TELL ME WHY THIS ISN'T A GOLF CART IN YOUR OPINION. WHAT IS THE CRITERIA TO BE A GOLF CART. KEEP IN MIND, THIS THING MAKES 385 RWP! AND WEIGHS 1300 LBS. IF ONE OF Y'ALL CAN HARNESS THAT IN A STOCK CHASSIS, THERE WOULD BE ALOT MORE OF THESE HUH. THERE IS MORE BARS THERE TO KEEP IT FROM TWISTIN' UP. IT IS 50"W X 110"L X 67"H. I BELIVE ONLY A TAD WIDER THAN MOST STOCK CARTS

There is plenty of imagination around here. If your wanting it to be called a golf cart you take a look at these pictures for some ideas. Even this isn't a golf cart but it does have a cart body on it. They may give you a run for your money with an electric cart.

Like others have said your work is fantastic but its not a golf cart. I agree with HRC on not having a good enough roll cage to even consider racing it at high speed but it is a great looking machine.

I gotta agree with OlBoy. It's a way cool vehicle none the less, but without at least a golf cart frame in there, I can't consider it a golf cart, no matter what the dimensions are. Sure, I'm picky, but that's why they pay me the big bucks.

There are plenty of guys here who have built some very nice golf carts. And not a single one of them has poo-poo-ed anyone. And, they won't because they appreciate and respect each other's work and effort. You are welcome to join us in this effort.
