This thing is pissing me off it looks so freaking good it almost looks to scale, can you please take a picture with someone in it and prove it's smaller then what I drive on the street. I might have to take of golfing just to have one

The cart just keeps getting better. I don't golf. I don't have any room to keep a cart, but it sure is tempting.

Boomerang,

That buggy is going to be a BIG hit for running errands or going back and forth between the camping and show areas! You're likely to have a line of people wanting a ride to go somewhere around the show! LOTS of walkinig otherwise.

I'm guessing if you brought 1/2 dozen bodies to sell they'd all be gone by the first day. Especially once people see the finished product!

Better take a tip from the Meyers family and start badging and numbering them in a way to serve future generations of adults trying to validate an "original" & "authentic" "Golf Cart Manix" Laughing

Hopefully they will only be "rare" for a little while. Cool

(hope you sell a lot of them)

These really do look great and as you can see, the personal preferences of the owner determine the outcome, just like the larger scale buggies.

I like the opportunity to have the carnival ride mock up engine available for folks that might want to go that way. I would probably steer away from the more accurate parts used in conjunction with that mold. IMHO it detracts from the carnival ride aspect with too much realism and further points out the deficiencies of the engine mold, keep it more carnival. A more accruate scale engine mold with a pair of dual chrome cannons shooting out the back would not be too hard for the talent shown in the rest of the build and would appeal more to the crew in this forum I would think. Looks good plain too.

Nice work, hope you have a lot of success, the quality seems to be there and the market is growing I think ( more and more old coots with money everyday Rolling Eyes

) Good luck

Here's the soft folding top installed. It can be installed as it is here or slightly higher, or even dropped down right to the top of the windshield frame and still have plenty of head room. Unclip the tethers and fold it back, or remove two thumb screws to completely remove it. To keep it neat, stow it in the zippered boot.
