**The Golf Cart Build-Off**

We had just finished adding a big tab to the bottom of our golf cart project and were excited to see how it would turn out. As we worked on fine-tuning the details, Cletus mentioned that he was having some issues at his place and invited us to come hang out for the rest of the day. We decided to head down to his place and spend some time with our friends.

As we settled in, we realized that we didn't have nearly as much time to work on the golf cart project as we had the previous two days. This was a normal day for us, where we would typically put in six hours of work. However, due to various factors, including Cletus's unexpected issues and our own fatigue from staying up late the previous night, we only had a couple of hours to work on the project.

Despite the time constraint, we managed to figure out the shifter, which was a major milestone for the project. We also found a new exhaust that fit perfectly, which is always a good sign. While there were still some minor details to attend to, such as cutting down the shifter to make it shorter and mounting the axles, we were excited with how close we were to completing the project.

Cletus's friends arrived, and we spent the evening having a great time. They even built a makeshift track in his backyard using side-by-sides, which was a blast to ride on. We didn't film much of it, though, as it was too dark to capture the action. Instead, we just enjoyed each other's company and had a good time.

As the evening drew to a close, I headed back to Cletus's shop to wrap up this video for our audience. The next video is already planned, and I'm excited to show everyone how close we are to completing the golf cart project. We're not quite ready to take it out for a spin yet, but it's looking good.

One of the things that's been holding us back from giving the golf cart its first test drive is the lack of a radiator. We've found one that should be easy to install, and we're confident that we can get it mounted and hooked up in no time. With a little more work, this project should be ready to hit the road.

As I finish up this video, I want to thank Cletus for inviting us to hang out at his place. It's been an amazing experience, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to spend time with our friends. Be sure to stay tuned for the next video, where we'll be documenting the final stages of the golf cart project's completion. We're getting close, and it's going to be a wild ride.

I also want to mention that Cletus gave me permission to show his golf cart starting up in this video, as it's almost complete. His build is looking great, and we can't wait to see how it performs. The competition between our two projects has been heating up, and I'm excited to share the final results with all of you.

**Golf Cart Build Update**

We're still working on fine-tuning the details of our golf cart project, but we're making great progress. Our next step will be to attach a radiator, which should be an easy installation. We've already found one that fits perfectly, and we're confident that it will get us close to being ready for its first test drive.

While there's still some work to be done, I'm excited with how close we are to completing the project. The shifter is sorted, the exhaust is in place, and we've made significant progress on the rest of the build. With a little more time and effort, this golf cart should be able to hit speeds and perform like a pro.

I want to thank Cletus for his help and support throughout this project. His shop has been an amazing resource, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with him and our friends. The camaraderie and competition have made this build experience truly enjoyable, and I know that everyone involved is looking forward to seeing the final results.

As we near completion, I want to remind everyone that we'll be documenting every step of the process in the upcoming videos. From the final test drive to the launch of our cars, you'll get to see it all happen firsthand. Stay tuned for more updates from Cletus's shop and our own golf cart build project.

**The Final Countdown**

We're finally getting close to giving our golf cart its first spin. The radiator is just about ready to be installed, and the rest of the work is coming together nicely. With a little bit more time and effort, we'll be ready to hit the road and take this baby out for a test drive.

As I finish up this video, I want to thank Cletus for his patience and understanding throughout this project. He's been an amazing host, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with him and our friends. The golf cart build has been an incredible experience, and I know that everyone involved is looking forward to seeing the final results.

The next video will be a special one – it'll document the final test drive of both projects. We'll be taking our cars out on the road, pushing them to their limits, and sharing every moment with you. It's going to be an exciting ride, and I don't want to miss a single minute.

So stay tuned, everyone. The golf cart build is almost complete, and it's going to be a wild ride.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys today is day three of the boosted boys varsity McFarland golf cart build-off and we're making some pretty good progress here so Emilio got the chain on this morning so he just used the bike chain we got with the bike and it was the same the ATV sprocket that we got is the same as the sprocket on the motorcycle so we just cut it the link we loosened this stuff up and just kind of because you can rotate it here that's like cammed inside there and then you can see these notches you can put like a spanner wrench on this and turn this whole thing and then the whole axle actually kind of adjusts in there so right now it's all the way forward yeah and we just got to push it back to tighten it up but I think it's gonna work yeah got the master link on there neutral right now ready to go yeah we figured out how the gear works which way they shift to go through the gears and we got it clicked into neutral give her a spin real quick spin a nice we are going to have to notch the swing arm a little bit more because it is very close but that is not too big of a deal we do have clearance we could probably run it like that but just to be safe we're gonna notch that some more and then Brent is over here working on the brake right now it's kind of a part but we're making a little bracket to come off this and we are going to be reusing the factory golf cart brake lever and then this is the piece that came off of the bike and we're just kind of reusing that guy making it work yeah because it just so happens the good bass owner so fits on to this you know this was off we ran at the junkyard and got this off a civic Oh actually yeah okay and you know I thought that was the one that's this clutch it is yeah I thought that was the one that came with the bike no we were using that which dude there you go we had to throw something Honda on there we had oh we have been messing with that and it's just about ready to go we just have to get this fully welded out over here and then he drilled like a hole up through there to kind of mount it yeah and then it looks like it has plenty of throw it's gonna work good and then we have to get a brake line made to run from there to the caliper that we don't have figured out yet because we were trying to find a caliper for this exact two rear axle which is off like a 450 CC ATV but no one has it in stock so more I have to rig something up tomorrow where actually I found a guy that has one for 250 I think they're supposed to be the same so he said at 8 o'clock in the morning they open up so I'm gonna go over there and see if it is the same one and if so all we have to do is run the line and it will just be bolt on which will save us a lot of time yeah that's what we're really in it worse but if not we got the one that came with the bike plus we got another one that we got from Cody back over there that it's off off of another bike that we could I probably make work yeah yeah so case we'll have to make it work so yeah so we'll see about the brakes and then that's all going on and then right now I'm gonna get started on making a shift assembly so we can actually shift this thing Jamie is out getting supplies right now we picked up some little heim joints and I'm gonna start fab and some stuff up and then I'll explain what we got going on once I can kind of visualize it a little better where we want to mount the shifter kind of general idea somewhere like that we're gonna a to drill a hole through the floor so we can make our shift linkage underneath we don't think and just sit back a little more I don't want to sit on that into too much yeah I just don't sell the throttle cable yeah sit in the middle on the throttle body you know yeah yeah yeah yeah that looks pretty good too so this is close over this way as we can you know yeah for someone else to sit in it if we bought two people yep nope it's just cheap metal through it so Jimmy's his wing got this stuff shift linkage we've got some all thread right here with our heim joints and then we got this sleeve to put over that just to strengthen it up even though it probably doesn't need it it's still pretty flimsy that's yeah it's pretty pretty strong yeah but just to be sure it will throw this little sleeve all right then we know so we brought my scooter with us down to Florida and I have these like lock-on grips and anyone that like BMX is scooters you guys know that these suck because they're like really hard right here and the other one I had on my scooter was broken anyways so I need to get like any si degrees for my scooter so I took this one off my bars and we're actually going to just use this on our shift handle so I'll have a grip to grab onto and then this tubing is also gonna be the same size as like the street like tubing so if we get a complete clutch lever assembly with the cable that should plant perfectly on right here so I was thinking we put my grip on off the scooter there and then we put a clutch handle off a street bike right under it and then you know we have the handle coming off a normal bike part would be but we'd have it up and down so then all you got to do is just pulling the clutch on the handle and then slowly let it out and then every other year you're just hanging anyway yep we have the clutch on the handle such as it stops and start with it we're gonna go ahead and get to work on this shift assembly real quick Brent just got this pilot hole drilled go under there and we're gonna drill two holes with this whole software I go one here where his hole was and then we're gonna go one slightly behind it and then just connect them together with a flat wheel so we have a little bit of an oval for the movement of the arm so it's not hitting on nothing and then moving up the shift lever there so go ahead and drill that out oh I nicked a little cable right there that's not anything that should know okay it's an old wire to the golf cart that doesn't matter clean that up otherwise that'll warned you hahaha I think that's just the wires from the old kid okay just like that ring you ready yeah and I think sounds crazy all right so we're making pretty good progress on our assembly all right now we just have these vice grips on this bar right here just to kind of simulate the lever that's gonna be going up that's actually right here we have this piece of tubing that we cut in half and then that is going to saddle onto the top of this we're gonna make that removable so that we can later like service this guy right here there was one issue with putting all this together is I thought we'd still be able to take this tube out if we made that removable but obviously we can't because we just welded these tabs right here solid so the tubes just kind of gonna stay in there forever unless we have it like cut it out one day and redo it but right now that's just how it's going to be but it is kind of a pain to put this bolt in up in that space so we're gonna make that removable so we can swing this it down to you know service it but we move these vise grips right there we have this rod that goes all the way to our shifter right there with two heim joints then we added this piece in the middle and then tightened it to just strengthen up the all thread right there and then you can see when I pull on this click it into gear so that's first and I need to go like back to neutral that's first one click half click to neutral and then all the other gears are there so it should work good so the reason we had to put this tab on top is because if it was on bottom then the shifter and the cart would be forward to the next gear which would work fun but I think pulling is much easier because especially when you're launching jump from your mr2 to this it'll be like normal oh yeah that too I don't want to mix those up another thing is like when you're getting thrown back in your scene it's a lot easier to pull back to the next year instead of trying to extend your arm to reach forward yeah okay there's just way more comfortable to pull back so that's why this is on top it's just tucked up on there there but yeah once we get this part attached to this shaft right here then the shifter will be pretty much done that we're thinking about just putting some like hose clamps in between here and here just to keep this bar from moving side-to-side but it spends pretty freely we might grease these up some but you know just for a fast quick shift linkage that will do it so we'll be good to go just like that it is now that engine is solid oh yeah not going anywhere now tighten down the sprocket y'all braking uh-huh you didn't look at the swing arms we jacked up the swing arm to make room so I could load these tabs like what can want to travel at house house quite a bit if we want to have the suspension later on the only thing is it comes back far enough to dig into the plastic what we tell you can get rid of this plastic yeah we can always cut that out with a you know if you want to ball haul it out take some sick jumps like it has a lot of travel yeah we just got this back mount made right here so we're done with the engine mounts it's nice and solid now Emilio went and found a new header because our other one was all dinged up found this one he also found punched liver cable you know all this we got all the clutch stuff here yep so we're just gonna be able to put this handle on our clutch lever up there you can see it sticking out all tall because we still need to cut it we did find out something with it though we are going to have to keep tabs on the bottom unfortunately because with those little tabs on top there's just not enough the row to click it into gear we have to move that top lever so much to get it to go into gear so we are actually going to put a long tab underneath so we are going to have to push forward to shift into the next gear so we still have a whole bunch of time to reinvent it we can definitely change it up later but for now we needed to go forward because right now there's just way too much throw to get it into gear going back so we're just gonna add a big tab right here on the bottom and college it and then that's done so we don't have to take all this apart and stuff and that will be done in quick cause we're running out of time so we're just trying to get as much done as we can but yeah we're getting closer oh yeah uh yeah it was it needed to be that long it could actually probably use more memory to be perfect could always bend that rod to make one more use to be perfectly how's it look come up there it's like perfect it's so close one more inch would have been good we just cut some of that plastic oh I'm glad we just made some real fast like we just said long yeah I mean if we have time we might be able to redo that way but we also don't want ya mess it up yeah but see that's what I'm scared about I don't want to drive this and then go to my mr2 and go backwards and learn it like this how you you ride the backwards bike so I ended solid yeah it's nineteen so that so first would be that's holding it at first yeah that's first so it's forward yeah so it's like the Spieth backyard so we should go seven well we'll just we gotta put the seat up and see where it's gonna be oh there it is we got a sequential up here fine yeah look cuz it's past the camp yeah the other one got Palmer angles up hey yeah wait yeah but that's good there's no before we now it's not like it just well this is down true though because it's Downers that where it needs to be all right guys we're calling it for today on the golf cart build-off Cletus is having some stuff going on at his place so we're actually getting ready to head down there cuz he invited us to go hang out for the rest of the day we did not have nearly as much time to work on this thing as we have the last two days this was a normal day like the last two days have been we'd have another six hours working on it yeah so we could definitely get a lot more done today you know in just a couple hours I feel like we could have this thing back on the ground and possibly starting up and shifting through the gears and moving under its own power because we have everything here that we need but we are gonna call it for tonight just due to time and what else we got going on and stuff like that but we did get the shifter figured out so that's ready to go it's gonna get that knocked out we need to still get a radiator which should not be too hard at all just hook two hoses to one that we already have just got to get it mounted finish up some welding our axles mounted we found a new exhaust that fits really good and there's still some little things that need to get done but he is very close so yeah really excited shifter needs to be cut down because it's tall as hell but yep that's where she's at right now so sorry this video wasn't as long we didn't get as much done cuz we're just on a time frame right now and we stayed up so late last night to get it to where it is now his friends giving yeah we still have a whole wife she might get it to do tonight yep who knows what the night holds but we're calling it for tonight on this and we're gonna go ahead over to Cletus this place so we went over to Cletus his last night it was awesome he gave us rides in side-by-sides they built a freaking like track in his backyard we were jumping on it was awesome didn't film too much of it though because it was really dark out and we just went to hang out have a good time we were sketching Bert and a whole bunch of friends but yeah we stayed over his place last night I got up this morning came back over to his shop and I'm wrapping up this video for you guys that you are watching right now and this next coming video I think is going to be a good one we are really close to giving the golf cart up and going so once I wrap this up I'm gonna be heading right back over there to help them out get that thing together and get going so be sure to stay tuned for this next coming video and then I also double-checked with Cletus that it was cool if I show his golf cart starting up in this video because you guys can see his is running as well they are getting closer and closer on his build and he hasn't released that video yet but he said that was cool so I'm just gonna throw all that into this video and this next one should be a good one so stay tuned we'll see you guys today I guesswhat's up guys today is day three of the boosted boys varsity McFarland golf cart build-off and we're making some pretty good progress here so Emilio got the chain on this morning so he just used the bike chain we got with the bike and it was the same the ATV

place last night I got up this morning came back over to his shop and I'm wrapping up this video for you guys that you are watching right now and this next coming video I think is going to be a good one we are really close to giving the golf cart up and going so once I wrap this up I'm gonna be heading right back over there to help them out get that thing together and get going so be sure to stay tuned for this next coming video and then I also double-checked with Cletus that it was cool if I show his golf cart starting up in this video because you guys can see his is running as well they are getting closer and closer on his build and he hasn't released that video yet but he said that was cool so I'm just gonna throw all that into this video and this next one should be a good one so stay tuned we'll see you guys today I guess\n"
