Default 57 Bel Air Txt Pds 48 Volt Upgraded Controller Build

Picked up this body off craigslist for an amount less than what they cost me from my source. It was rougher than new but nothing the experienced body shop I've used for many years down the street couldn't fix. Here it is unpainted.




Back from the paint shop with some mock work being done.




Yes, that's the original 57 Tropical Turquoise PPG color with an automotive clear coat over it. Dash was sprayed the same color too





Mock work. It's getting a radio and some other upgrades



Showing off the bumper a bit ill take some more pictures when it's mounted and I'll also take some of the metal frame work we have welded for the bumpers and nose. The cart is a TXT PDS it's getting a 400 amp XCT (unless HiTech put it in a customer's build today ) 48-volt conversion. It'll be for sale when its finished (along with my jeep that is finished and for sale!) but I'll make a proper sale thread when it's done. ($6,499 when completed, loads of upgrades, we also have financing!)

Nice work! Different manufacturer from the one I'm working on right now.

Thank you, I like the chrome strip on yours. Is all of that trimming on yours fiberglass? I've got a few "stickers" for things like the grill.

All fiberglass. Where do you buy those stickers, headlights, etc?

Came with it when I bought it. No stickers are currently installed or pictured. That is all automotive paint.

Looking great! I ordered my bentley Body and it was a nightmare. I had it painted before it arrived guy said it was bolt on ready to go. Boy he must have seen me coming. It was a lot of trimming to get it to fit right. But once it was done you'll have a cart that doesn't look like the others in your neighborhood.

Love the color you went with! Really nice!

Oh wow, I would have been mad! Unfortunately, no fiberglass kit I've gotten has been "bolt on". Custom is what we are going for, and thank you!
