What a difference. That is one awesome build! You sir are very talented.
 
This has been a fun one to watch. Just one question that guess I missed. what are you using for glass?

Thanks, I used 1/4" acrylic, to hold it I used metal roofing screws, they have rubber washers so it doesn't crack when tightening them. It's funny stuff - you can smack it with a hammer and it won't break, but if there's a nick on an edge and you bend it even slightly, it cracks like a cookie.

so what did your wife have to say about the finished product?
 
Had some old cedar planks left from my Black Rat 55 build so I shined them up, used them in the bed. Also a few worms eye view pics with a little better light, shows the colour better.....

I hope you don`t take this the wrong way, but it looks like a baby rod. Like it wants to grow up and have a big block one day[cl

No offense taken, actually I take it as a compliment. :) It was very tempting to do something like that, I had to keep reigning in my hot rodding urges to stuff a real engine in it. :rolleyes:

Ya, but you built it for retirment. No need to go drag racing the other retired guys sports cars now :D
 
wheels on cart

hey the wheels are kool,just where on E-bay did you get
them i am building a cart that could use those wheels.

O.B.
stands for (old bast-rd) got it at the Harley factory School.[;)
 
Hmm.... as you can see, the Caddy is patiently waiting for me to get back to it - this cart project should be done in no time (famous last words :eek:)

Now it gets interesting - made kingpins and mounted the front wheels, propped it in front of the frame for a preview. I'm using a set of 2 piece billet wheel adapters to mount the Ford pattern wheels to the Club Car's 4 on 4 bolt pattern. I don't have any fears about using these on this cart but I know guys use these things on street cars - I'd be a little freaked about that. :eek:
Had and old TCI Model A front spring that I cut in half to make 1/4 elliptic springs and mounted them. [;)


ZZ Rodder I was wondering where you got the Wheel
Spacers? I have a club car rear end in the bucket i am building and
need some big room for the rear tires.
