Also, to answer your earlier question on the resistor system: the five solenoid system is really reliable, but you will be asking a lot of the coils if you plan to put on a rear seat and haul 4 people regularly or if you lift it and go with larger tires. If you're staying stock for a cruiser, the solenoid system will be reliable for you, especially on such an old cart. To go crazy with the speed upgrades and whatnot it would really be best if the cart had the newer rack and pinion instead of the old Ross Box it currently has.

Great feedback, I appreciate it.
I am just planning on keeping it stock for the most part. Custom wheels and a black paint job. No lift and no rear seat. I'm actually gonna be using the bag well to hold golf clubs! I really want to maintain the vintage qualities of the cart and showcase that it is a vintage cart. Heck I was born in 81 so I'm amazed at the shape this 32 year old cart is in. It's had some good previous owners.
I've also got a 1978 EZ-GO three wheel cart. It's the last year they made a three wheel. It's also in great shape for 37 years old and I plan on refurbishing it as well.
