Got all the cosmetic work done (G2)
I know we did it somewhat backwards, as we now need to work on the rear clutch, and we are going to go ahead and rebuild the engine, but we got all the fun stuff done on the G2.
Work performed: - Removed old roached out roof and windshield - 4" Body lift - 20" Tires (10" Wheels) - Sanded and rattle can O.D. green paint - 1" steel tubing rear seat frame (mounted to cart frame) - New rear seat - 12" LED light bar, protected with 3" angle iron - Custom star/ Punisher logo stencil (it was a slow day at the office when I cut that one out) - steering wheel wrapped with 550 cord (a hell of a lot cheaper than buying an aftermarket steering wheel) We were going for somewhat of a Willys Jeep look, going to add gun scabbards on the sides of the front rack. After the engine and clutch work, we are planning on fabricating a rear deck, moving the rear bumper back 12", installing the deck, adding a receiver hitch for a corn feeder, and a few other minor mods. What are your thoughts on the progress so far? |

Re: Got all the cosmetic work done (G2)
Looks good. Wish I would have thought of that wheel wrap. Looks a little sagged on the front, consider shimming the springs or new shocks to level it out (I have pretty bad inner tire wear for same reason).

Ditto cgtech!
I like the steering wheel and choice of paint color! Might want some new shocks in front if you are going to load that box on the rack. Front suspension looks a little compressed. |

Until I get new heavy duty shocks (after the engine rebuild and clutch rebuild), what should I use to shim them? I have an old spring rubber from a NASCAR race, but that only takes care of 1 side , should I just wedge a couple of small rubber bushings into each shock? |

30ish year old shocks tend to get a bit compressed. What brand of shocks would you recommend, and where should I buy them? I was thinking about taking one of them down to my local NAPA and see if they have something with similar size, travel, etc. for a small car, at least for the interim until I have the funds for HD shocks all the way around. Thoughts? |

People have made the washers out of a variety of things, even PVC pipe.

Re: Got all the cosmetic work done (G2)
I'm having trouble envisioning how to use a piece of pvc as a spacer...

Re: Got all the cosmetic work done (G2)
You have to compress the shock spring and slide a spacer in between the spring and the spring base it sets on. It compresses the spring more and gives you back some of your length which will help with the sag until you can get new shocks.
I've actually been thinking about going with air shocks on my cart to give them a try on my G1. I do like the steering wheel wrap. |
