G1 custom windshield complete now what?
Well I made a folding windshield for the cart and it turned out pretty good. I used 3/16" plexiglass and a set of stainless steel hinges. I off set the plexi from the roof frame I made with some rubber stops that are made to protect furniture legs on floors. I didn't want the plexi to rub on the roof frame and viberate. I used two thumb screws on the top that I can take off and flip the top portion down and then secure it with the same thumb screws. The problem I'm having is I'm running out of things to add to the cart and with 1 1/2 feet of ice still on the lake it will be at least two weeks before I bring it up to the lake....I also added ground effects lights....any other ideas LOL

Re: G1 custom windshield complete now what?
Wow..that looks great. I'd love to see some more pics of how you did the frame. Since the G1 body (and roof) flip up for service I'm curious how you fabricated that part of the frame.
That's an awesome looking cart BTW! Brad |

Re: G1 custom windshield complete now what?
What I did was dropped the angle of the original roof about five inches in the front. On the ends of the factory roof rails I drilled a hole that I ran a bolt through and welded it to the roof rail. I then made my front rails that attach to the front cowl with bolts. The new 1"x 1" square tubing front up rights are attached have a hole drilled to except the bolt that is welded to factory roof I then used a wing nut to hold them together. I just unthread the wing nut and pull open the back cowl like normal and the front section stays in its place. hope that makes sense I will post some pics let me know if you understand what I did.

Re: G1 custom windshield complete now what?
Hmm... How about fabricating fishing rod holders on top of the roof? That's a project I need to do!

Re: G1 custom windshield complete now what?
That cart really looks good and has got me excited to do something with mine. Now if I can just quit using it long enough to do something with it....
Those seats look very nice. Are those the factory seats? Did you recover them? I've seen a lot of guys use the inexpensive boat seats as a replacement but not sure if I want to go that route. |

Those are the original factory seats and I didn't recover them, they where in pretty good shape when I got the cart.

Re: G1 custom windshield complete now what?
Wow, I think I would of said fix it or no doe. It's better than I could do but definitely not up to par for an upholstery shop. I would keep my boat seats far away from them, it is one thing to screw with my cart but my boat is my baby LOL. Cart looks great though I like your paint.
