Anyone know where to get these center hubs?

 

[BigDaddyRog]

I would bet they were custom engraved. Thats not a typical DISNEY STORE item!!! I like them too.....might be a market for that Ron....If i were to go to
(prepare for unsolicited advertisement here)
www.eastcoastcarts.com
or called you @
954-701-9133
and asked where could I get some cool Mickey head center caps, would you be able to point me in the right direction...or better yet, manufacture them yourself? Could that be done with a regular router and a template?

Would like to know myself.

I must be getting weird.

Many rich people of a fleet of nice cars.

If I were rich, I think I would have a fleet of golf carts.

I shouldn't be allowed to buy spray paint when I'm thinking about what I can do to the cart...

Still need clear coat...

It does at least potentialy look better than before

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Damn, Mike...thats pretty smooth for a rattle can...the silver underside is a good idea...I may do THAT myself!!!

 

[LONE-STAR]

Mike I like the silver under side also. But why not lift the front of the cart

If you do, I recommend the rustoleum metallic finish chome, the other ones I tried looked to silver.
The Green is actually metallic and looks alot better in person.
I have a piece of Diamond Plate to make a dash out of but, I waiting to replace my batteries before I put that in.
Before you ask what batteries have to do with the dash, I'm changing from
6- 8volts to 4- 12 volts. This should give me the room to mount the speakers on either side of the F-R switch on the seat.
I'll lose run time but, I would like to say for the Fort it will be fine...

The reasoning of only lifting the rear comes from two parts..

PART 1. I've reverted back to my younger days when I wanted to fix up my car.
Step 1, install a stereo, it doesn't have to be pretty but it has to be there and sound decent ( you'd be surprised how good you can make junk sound ).
Step 2, paint something on the motor chrome, we like shiney things and we can't help ourselves ( not to mention the extra 20 hp chrome provides )
Step 3, Jack it up,,,,,, for cars, air shocks have always been my prefered media for this, and just because it's a golf cart I decided to go with what I know..
After this you may get rims,glass packs or paint but, only after a stereo upgrade ( EQ with lots of lights,,,did I mention an attraction to shiney )

PART 2, Lisa said I can't spend that much on it yet

...Mike...I would swear you grew up in Metairie, LA!!!! We SWORE that a simple car wash would make your car go 20mph faster because it would lessen the wind drag!!! Solid Centerline Mags with 50s on the back, and Suicides on the front meant you had to brace yourself from sliding into the windshield from the front seat, but that was cool!!! A chrome airfilter cover was all you really needed to prove you were a real mechanic, but if you got the manifold covers as well...you were a wrenching GOD. No upholstery was complete without ductape. No matter how cold it was the windows went down so everyone could hear what cassette you were jamming to. Autozone were the new guys...but Western Auto had always been there for us, and we werent real sure Autozones cheap stereo components were going to be as good as WesternAutos cheap stereo components...where else could you get a set of 6x9s for $8.99??? It wasnt completely uncommon to have a set of humongus house speakers in the trunk rigged for quick connection for the parties in some parking lot somewhere on a Friday or Saturday night!!....Oh, and the car RAN faster if you only put $2 of gas in at a time....all that extra weight from TOO MUCH GAS just slowed ya down...and the fumes always found their way into the car when it was too full!!!

Chrome doesn't make you go faster!!! Come on, everyone knows the "triple" wiper blades with the little wings, and clothes hanger for the radio antenna make you go faster. And you don't use air shocks to jack the back of the car up to look good, you use them to keep the car level when the trunk is full of sandbags for traction in the winter.....


Silly southerners!
