Re: The newest drag racer gears up!
 

Yea, we picked up the golf cart last October, sold my open trailer to offset the cost. We couldn't leave it alone of course, so we did the wheels, added the headlights &amp; tailights, I cut off the bag holders and installed a stainless tool box, then installed a stereo system with marine speakers with grilles to match the wheels, then a full width rear view mirror (which is virtually useless right now [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] ). Next we will shoot the cart the same color as the racecar, and bypass the governer even more [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] It's fun, but just another thing to work on and keep running!

Marlin...sounds like you all are having a blast! There's nothing better than time with your kids [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

When the snowstorm hit last October, I had the golf cart in the garage and decided it was a great day to install the stereo and speakers (and antenna - no antennas on these things....). Hey, if the Dremel cuts that thick plastic body pretty good for the speakers - then the sawzaw will cut it even better! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] In fact, it can cut the body for the speakers, start through the metal frame, and put a nice hole in the gas tank before you even know it! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img] Perhaps the smell of fuel running out onto the floor is a good warning sign to stop and figure out how long of a blade is really required..... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img] Never a dull moment! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Well Ben, today we get to learn how to mix epoxy and repair a 6 gallon plastic fuel tank. We will also learn how to remove the air cleaner, carb and part of the intake from golf cart engine in order to remove said fuel tank.

&quot;Here's your sign.&quot;

I love it! The school of hard knocks! Don't feel bad, it happens to all of us.

Our golf cart is a long roof (electric) club car. So far the only addition has been a rear view mirror. If you charge it once a month-it's almost maintenance free. We really enjoy it-even with the grandkids. We had it at GM Carlisle this year. It made for better mobility and less sunburn. It was fun!

Amanda's first time in a Jr - she was all smiles! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] She wants a pink and purple car, how can a Dad say no? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Would the hand on her helmet possibly belong to the &quot;D&quot; in the future &quot;B.A.D. Racing&quot; ? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Great family fun M. Congrats!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

Very good! Yes, that is Danny's hand holding her head still for the photo. Amanda was quite funny, as she starts yelling something while the 8.90 engine was idling (with me blipping the throttle a few times [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] ), apparently, she was bit surprised by how much chassis vibration there is when the car is up on the stand and the tires don't cancel it out. She was all smiles though, so that was a good sign. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
