Diamond T
I spent the last 2.5 years building this golf cart. I'd been collecting parts for over a year off of junk golf carts and buying parts for it. I built this and put this thing together myself in my garage. It wasn't easy seeing how I just moved into our new house and had a new garage built this past spring.
This cart is 48 volts lithium with 600amp AC Navitas controller with a 5K motor. It runs 42 MPH. Has a full AirSlamIt air kit installed. Miata disc brakes out back with 67 Cobra 15"x10" wheels & tires, along with a set of Harley Davidson 16" wire wheels up front hooked to a set of Ezgo spindles on a home made axle. The front grille shell I got with the bucket the insert I built myself out of copper tubing and stainles tig wire. Took me a good 10 hrs just to put it together. Has a 71 C-10 tilt steering column hooked to a Ezgo R&P sector with a corvette steering wheel. Remote start. GPS speedometer with built in turn/head light indicators. Here is a short video I did yesterday on my first test run with the carts loaded on the ramp truck and trailer after installing a electric trailer brake controller and harness. The Woody is also going. I'm planning on making the trip to Alabama in May for the Battle in Bama truck show with the carts.  https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pLiTZmNMjdg

Re: Diamond T
Thanks guy's it's been a fun build but very time consuming.
Here are some pictures of the new shop/garage I had built and yes it's already to small. I plan on putting the side and back end metal on the lean to , to close it off and leave the front open. I do most of the cutting ,grinding and welding out there so I can just take the leaf blower and blow it out when needed. Later I may add another lean to on the open part of the concrete. Quote:
Nope... I sold it. It was so hard getting in & out of it I just sold it and bought the Woody back. I shouldn't have ever sold the Woody but I have it back now and it's not going nowhere anytime soon. I may end up building me another one though who knows! But bigger. I worked on the bucket some today. I built some rear fenders for it. I have to figure out a cool mounting system for them though.In the video they are just sitting on the tires. I'm going to have them mounted so they lower and rise with the rear axle. That way the gap between the tire and fender will always be the same. I'm thinking about 1" gap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5ghOyY4ubQ
