2 kewl, They make some cart wheels that look like the old American Racing wheels from the past that would really look great on that cart!

Do a search for 1957 Chevy Sport Cruiser if you want to see what'll be pulling the trailer... Pretty sure I'll have the biggest and smallest '57s at any show.

That's an awesome cart!

Sweet! That's the color mine is going to be. A work in progress right now!

Very cool 57 Chevy guy You are extremely lucky you found a car with the early fiberglass body kit (Chevy found out about it and demanded license fee's, so now the look differant). Where in Wa state are you? I'm in Tacoma/Puyallup area. Look's like a "gasser" from the choke button, but some just fill in the hole. Nice!

Very nice looking cart, I'm sure it will strike up some conversations at the car shows.

Awesome! Swing by the XXX Root Beer Drive In, Issaquah this August, on Sunday the 20th. I'll have it at that show if not somewhere before then. The guy I got it from was down in your area - Orting - but I'm up in Bellevue/Redmond area.

That's a great idea - Not sure I've ever seen a gasser cart before. Anyone else?? Already been looking at a big block swap but not sure if I'm ready for it. I think I'll give it a season the way it is now before I really get into it. Plus, I have my bigger cars that need some attention before the shows start up this year.

Just ordered a set of black tube back supports so I can remove the golf bag holders (didn't want to cut the originals) and have a sheet of plexiglass coming that'll end up being a half/quarter size windshield. I'll post some pictures of that build for feedback.

Ha! I've never had anything that made it past that "work in progress" state!!

I usually stay away from black just because of all the upkeep, but I'm really happy with the way this one looks. But... there's always just one more thing I want to do to it.

Thanks Granger ezgo! Just went to a local Tri5 (55-57) Chevy club meeting and was debating whether or not to tell them what I bought. What do you all think? Tell them or let it be a little surprise at the August show (yeah, still a ways off)?

Bummer about the rain on the way, I still need to clean it up. First step, get it on the lift and do some inspections/learning... Havin' Fun!!!

Spoiled brat, you even have a lift.....enjoy
