Although it looks like its close to full size, It is looking awesome.
Just a side note; I think you have the windshield on backwards.The groove should face front.
Are you going to make bag racks? |
Thanks, I wasn't sure about the windshield and which way that groove faced. I planned to look that up before mounting.
After this cart is delivered we have many ideas for mods, options and things like bag racks, etc. This cart will have a 2" hitch receiver so a bag rack can hang off that for now. But hinged opening compartment front & back have been discussed and may become available depending on customer demand.

I'd certainly make a mold of the engine. It would look unfinished if you didn't have something back there to fill in the hole. Plz pm me the info u have available and pricing. Expected production start time to. Thx

We're making a mold of this next. We hope to have one at Carlisle. Great for wagons, go karts, trailers, etc.

[quote="1madmanx"]Check this You Tube vid out. Your buggy cart would fit right in 
[/qujote]
That's cool. I've heard of that place. Supposedly its about the size of Manhattan with more golf carts than NYC has taxi cabs. And Florida has beaches where you NEED to be seen driving around in a dune buggy golf cart.

That's going to look really great with a bit of paint and upholstery work to finish it up! Nice job Boomerang.
Now I'm imagining a lowered version, chopped windshield and roll bar, a golf course racer!

It's painted now. These are lousy cell phone pics, but you can still make out the purple flake. It looks great. Better photos coming soon.

| That is probably the nicest kit I've seen for a golfcart yet. I find it hard to even believe it's a golfcart. Pretty much every kit I've seen just looks like a bad cartoon and the proportions just don't seem right. The buggy is really sharp looking though and the proportions seem to be just right. I hope you do well with them. |

Thanks! That's like music to my ears since one of my main objectives was proper scale. But I also had to please my wife since this is her cart. I'm happy with the proportions and the compromises we made. For example, I could have put some batteries up front and moved the rest to the far back and put the seats right on the floor. That would have been even better proportionally, but it would have made it harder to climb in & out of the cart. Visually and proportionally correct & still easy to use is a home run. But you can build yours any way you wish.

I think you should sell this to the Carlisle organizers to replace their golf carts! That would be perfect!
Looks really nice! |
