    My Golf Cart Build

    I got this cart a couple months ago and it has taken me some time to get the ball rolling on fixing it up the way I want it. With season getting close, I figured I had better get started. I was planning on waiting until it was complete to post this but figured I would post up progress as it went along.

    This is how she looked the day I brought her home.

    I got my lift, tire, and wheel kit in a couple weeks later but of course it sat in the garage for a while before anything got done with it. After the install, the cart really started to look like something that would be useful in the field.

    Next, I stripped of the factory plastic bumper off the front and back to get to the frame so that I could add the racks the way I had dreamt them up in my mind.

    Last night I started on the back rack. Using a piece of 2" x 2" angle to bolt on the back brackets where the plastic bumper used to be bolting it on through the existing holes.

    I actually got the entire frame of the back rack completed but did not take a picture. Stay tuned, hope to spend some rainy time in the garage this weekend hammering it out.

              Got after it this morning.

              Bolted the back rack frame up first.

              Used some small pipe for bushings to make up the difference in bolt to spots.

              Got the expanded metal tacked on and figured the old plastic factory rear bumper would work great as a shin guard and keep the corners covered so I welded on a couple brackets and bolted it up.

                I have to say that getting the bolts through the brackets and bushings while getting them to thread back into the factory holes was tough but I got it that far.

                Front bumper is next and the braces to level and support the front rack will attach to it.
