78 Club Car Makeover

Here are some before, after, and during photos of my 1978 Club Car restoration.

I was attracted to it because it matched our garbage cans.

The upholstery was a little rough. But hey, it ran...sort of.

This shot is after some re-upholstery and ditching the canopy. A little paint helped.By now my wonderful son Andy had gotten the bugs (literally) out of the electric system, and Jud and John helped him drink the beer. I did the brakes cause the boys didn't want to get their clothes dirty.

Here it is coming out of Andy's garage. Lights working new fake grill and a loud horn. Andy might have given me some new tires while I was there.

I had to rebuild the seat frame. The bumper is courtesy of my daughter Laura. It's an Emeril chrome pot hanger. No kitchen could make it look that good.

Time out for Halloween , when Spongebob and I played cops.

On one Halloween , Spongebob got his famous boat on the street. I drove as Mrs. Puff.

Our late dog Teddy LOVED the cart rides. And he stayed in his seat!

Today, the cart has a roof and is awaiting its windshield.

The rear bumper used to be the dashboard rail. I love the moonie hubcaps donated by Andy! Laura says it looks like an Amish wagon, but check out the trunk I made from aluminum sheets. It is held shut by a spring and is handy to  carrying beverages.

Thanks to Paula and Meg, I have a spectacular hood ornament. Those are inexpensive tractor headlights. The cowl and fender panels between the original "hood" and the bottom of front window is leftover metal from Laura and Curt's kitchen backsplash.
No animals were harmed during the remodeling of this vehicle.
