Default Matt's Build Thread

I have been wanting to build a V-twin Golf Cart for a while now so here it is!

Straight out of the bone yard. I am starting with a 1997 EZGO 36 volt cart.


Haha!






The goods. :)






Swapping in a gasser rear end. Old battery trays plasma cut outta there.






Frame painted, lift, gas rear end installed. Let the build up start happening.

Thanks! I am finished with the cart(for now) but have been having way too much fun riding it to take any new pics. I made this one GA street legal and drive it to work everyday. How does it get any better than that? Plans are to build a roll cage with a black soft top like the one in my avatar. High speed gears maybe.
How do the 23hp briggs handle 8:1 gears? I'm wanting a better cruising gear but we have some big hills around here too. Also I dont know which set to order for the large or small bearing. I have no idea what year cart the rear end came from but the serial number on the rear end is 97G110. Is that a 1997 which would be a large bearing?

So let me get this straight...you are driving this to work with no body? Good way to be able to showw your handy work.

This is a very neat build. Very informative as to how to change a sparky over to a gasser.

I've been putting lots of miles and smiles on it recently. I had one of the best rides off road the other day taking the vtwin out on its first trip to an atv park. It climbs anything you throw at its way. The hills were nearly vertical inclines and the cart handles them like they arent even there. I finally got some pics of the cart as it is for now. I plan to do some more things to it still including a bimini once the roll cage is powder coated.



Front winch bumper/brush guard I fabbed up for it. Still need to wire the winch but even if I dont use it I just like the way it looks!




This is the rear seat I fabbed for it. I made the DP aluminum rocker panels too.
