Fore! Golf cart to mini rod #2

[Dr Crankenstein]

Work as straight as yours deserves black. I like it. [cl

Not without its problems though, some wicked orange peel to sand out and a couple hideous runs........ who said life was easy.

My painter buddy says, "Too much is better than not enough."

My wife says, "Too fat to wear white."

Maybe the other way 'round, but they're both right.

She better let ya put a "Vanilla Shake" top on that.

In the end, you are doing all the work... and you should decide.

Hahaha...oh you're killin me...hahaha! [cl

Mine says "Honey, all your friends are out driving their hot rods. Why don't you get a zip loc bag, pick up all the parts for yours and join them!" and then walks off laughing! [ddd

I like black. always have. Always will. Looks good!

In the end, you are doing all the work... and you should decide*. She will probably change her mind again.

Your creation will look good what ever color you decide on. Personally I think off-white and black are both better choices than gold.

* Full disclosure, this idea of "he who does the work, gets to make the decisions" has gotten me in to trouble many times.

Yeah! I learned a long time ago - A happy wife is a happy life....

Back in black

It's been too long I'm glad to be back
Yes I'm, let loose
From the noose


Ok so your wife is in charge of the noose The black does look kill.

Nothing better than a little AC/DC....

Black goes with everything......

Thanks again guys.
Well, it's been a whole day and she still likes it in black
Black is beautiful baby !
Couple days of color sanding and polishing to do then I can mount the windshield and top irons so it can go to upholstery next week, still going with the dark brown top and interior, think it will go good with the black too.
While it's there I'll get the frame and chassis finished up and painted - well, that's the plan ....

 

[MercuryMac]

Hi zzrodder. I vote black too, it's my favorite. I saw your Henaway truck in the hodrod magazine and it stuck in my memory as the best built truck. Now, you've gone and done another beauty proving you are not a 'one hit wonder' but a great artist. Keep up the good work, and don't wander off and take up golfing, when you should be building.
Keep on tinkering.

Make sure she is happy with the top and interior color before going to upholstery. Not as cheap and easy to change after the fact as paint. Beautiful job!

 

[sgtpontiac]

ZZ....even a saddle brown would like killer...

The combo should be really nice ......great project...[cl

Had a productive day on the body sanding and buffing, mounted the window and top irons and pushed it out for some sunny pics - hard to get good pics of a black car in a dark garage. The window frame and top bows etc., are just lightly polished plain steel with a clearcoat, chrome was just too over the top, probably well over $1000.00.

 

[Neverdone]

good lord you do some good work!!! This whole project gets me goin! You haven't been working on it that long and there it sits looking nearly done!

 

[kkadams123]

Beautiful build. I am looking forward to how you do the top. I need to put some kind of top on mine since the top was cut off 45 years ago. Keep up the good work and great pictures.

 

[oddpowers]

Super nice ZZ! [dr

 

[bob w]

I still think it's a trick done with mirrors. Simply outstanding![cl

 

[zzrodder]

Painting is done at last. Finished the cleanup of the parts yesterday and got them primed, today I shot the silver base coat and clear topcoat. Next couple of days will be the real fun, putting things together.

 

[cosmic12]

Truly amazing. what a neat little ride. Are you going to build a trailer for the golf bag and clubs?[cl[dr

 

[ratchet041]

That is way to cool makes me wanna start golfing. Just so I can tear threw the golf course raising hell chasing the little white ball. You should really think about marketing that thing bet they would sell faster than you could make them.

 

[Sunnybeach]

Excellent work all around.

With the extra off-white paint, you could spray the floor to brighten up the work environment. [ddd
