Killer cart build...paint, rims, stereo.

My buddy has a Gem car that he was comletely redoing so he had my friend and I do the stereo for him. It was a fun project that I thought you guys might enjoy. He gave us all of two days to bang it out so its not totally up to standards but its pretty damn cool as it sits.
The cart: Attachment 4206 The goodies: Attachment 4214 In the front console we did a pair of Polk Db651's, a Clarion EQS746, a color matched power switch an iSimple IS76 periphial for iPod power and signal. Attachment 4212 Attachment 4211 Attachment 4215 Attachment 4209 Attachment 4210 Attachment 4220 In the back we did another set of Polk DB651's, a Polk DB10 in a sealed enclosure. We would loved to have had more time to do a proper enclosure but this will get him by for now. The whole cart frame is aluminum so we cut out an aluminum plate and fit it between to of the uprights and mounted the Kicker ZX550.3 on it. It was a super tight fit once the wires and cabling were ran to it. Attachment 4217 Attachment 4218 Attachment 4219 Attachment 4204 Attachment 4216 Attachment 4203 The batteries were another challenge. We had to build some brackets out of steel and fasten them to the underside of the frame where some open areas were. He had bought a couple Exide group 27's (wouldn't have been my choice but whatever.) We also put in a Schumacher charger that we converted to an onboard. We rewired it and put in a remote charging plug and while we were at it we moved the charger plug for the cart batteries as well. I put the fuse up there as well which is good and bad. It's right at the batteries but if it pops its a bitch to get at. Attachment 4205 Attachment 4208 Attachment 4213 It was a really fun project I just wish we had more time to do a better job in a couple areas. We are gonna redo the box covered in black vinyl and put in a couple cup holders as well as do some neons and LED's. Here is the finished cart: Attachment 4207 |
Looks pretty sweet to me, nice work.
|
haha its cool. but can I ask why? The carts electric isnt it?
why not spend the money on making a badass rhino or razor?? |
It is electric and street legal. It'll go about 40 miles on a charge so its perfect for running around Crescent Bar (party town for those not in the know) where he keeps it.
Nu bu, where the hell have you been? Haven't seen you around here lately. |
Right on. Looks like you did some good work. Im not a fan of those, but i bet you could pull together a sick ass razor thats wicked fast!
|
Hate I've been on a much needed hiatus from WW.
|
Oh good so the 12 step program worked : )
|
Let's hope so....
|
Wow, a ghetto box on wheels! Those rims really make it sweet.
I know others don't get the cart thing. But if you live in an area where their legal on the roads & everything is close by, they are a lot of fun. We can take ours to the store, the beach (where the boat is in a slip), to actually play golf (WTF?), various friend's houses, etc. Gotta have racks on it for the necessities though, coolers, boards, foils, vests, etc. |
It's funny you said crescent bar, because I was thinking it would be perfect for crescent bar. Pretty fun little party town, but what's going to happen to the island and condos?

Pretty neat
|
Thats cool! Very nice grocery getter...
|
I'd love to have that for running around town. Looks like fun.
|
Thats Sweet right there, I'm actually thinking of trading my pimped out rhino for a LSV (golf cart) I need something for the neighbor hood & lake house...
|
ridiculous...
|
Hate, you think that buddy of yours wants to sale that Cart yet?
