Just when you thought there was no other toy to modify... Along came the Golf Cart... Thin Air Powersports purchased this Golf Cart, stripped it down to the frame, and rebuilt it into something that took 10 strokes off of our game! Read the rest of the story on how this was accomplished! |
Step
#1 |
After the initial tear down, the different parts went to the appropriate departments for refurbishing. The front cowling was not worth trying to fiberglass, so a aftermarket one was purchased. But, the back panel was fiberglassed to match the original body lines. |  |
 |
| Step #2 | While the body parts were being sanded and primed, a lift kit was being engineered for the cart. Although not easy visible to see due to the tire and body changes, the cart was given approximately 2 more inches of lift with an additional 3 inches of extra travel. | ||
| Step #3 | Once the body parts were sanded and primed, a base color was picked out. The color of choice was the Sapphire Blue that was used on the 1995 Ford Mustang. Then the application of the base color and clear coat was applied. |  |
 |
| Step #4 | During the base coat painting process, the engine was rebuilt and calibrated to run more efficiently and FASTER for this area. |  |
|
| Step #5 | The seats needed to be recovered and additional parts purchased. This was done throughout the entire process. The little items are just as necessary as the larger ones. First the seats were sent off for recovering. |  |
 |
| Step #6 | The original tires were like new, but were the design of slicks. No traction... Thin Air wanted the cart to have the capability to go out into the rough and climb the hills. So, new tires and rims were purchased. Once received the tires were removed, the rims sand blasted, powder coated, and holographic hub caps installed. |  |
 |
| Step #7 | After the base coat and clear coat were applied, the design and application of the graphics began. Thin Air wanted something that would stand out. So, the design of flames were used with chameleon paint was used. |  |
 |
| Step #8 | While the graphics and another coat of clear was being applied, the stripping of all the brackets, bumpers, and seat backs began. Once completely cleaned they were powder coated in a textured black. |  |
 |
| Step #9 | Other special accessories were ordered and re-engineered to fit. The first was a GT steering wheel. A special adapter was machined so that the steering wheel could be installed on a golf cart. Thin Air then created a score card holder from plexi-glass so that the steering wheel could still be seen. In addition, diamond plate was ordered and installed. |  |
 |
| Step #10 | As the different parts were completed, assembly began. There were only 4 more items to be installed. The first two were the purple nylon straps to hold the clubs in and the dark plexi-glass etched with the Thin Air Powersports logo. |  |
 |
| Step #11 | The final 2 parts installed were fun items that were needed to complete this project. ANevada license plate was made with Thin Air Powersports' saying of "Stock Sucks" and a big foot shaped pedal for the gas! |  |
