Loren Let Me Have It!

[Deaf Bob]

while I do admire your skills, and willingness to buff - it is not sanding

Would you be happy if she buffed in the buff?

Likely we'd have to subscribe to that channel - this one's free!

Get your ECTA rulebook and look up "Omega" classes. They're for electric vehicles (or steam). THAT would be fun! Not sure how many wheels are required.

I though when you said "Loren Let Me Have It" ...... well, never mind.

Yeah, that was a rather provocative title for a thread, but I didn't want to go there.

Gail's little car. Gail's little car. Think clean. Buffed. Shiny.

That's cool, it looks like a lot of fun.

Wooo Hooo!
I put chrome edging around the wheel wells and the hood this weekend. Loren made some much needed upgrades to the way the roof mounts. It was very noisey and rattly going down the road but I bought some plumbing washers and he used some foamy grey weather strip and now the roof is quite as a mouse....
I will take some pictures tonight.

WOW! that is a cute little car! did it used to be a golf cart?

[LORENSWIFE]

It was never a golf cart it was meant to be used for ladies to go to the grocery store or post office.
Here are some omore pictures of other ones. Autoette was the name of the company but I am still researching and am not really sure if mine is one of those or not.
Mine was presented as a Electra King Sports Rider.

A note I just received from Larry Fisher of the Autoette Project....

Hi Gail,

You’ve found a real jewel with your Sports Rider! Congratulations.

Do you have the serial number for your car (usually located on a little plaque on the dashboard)? The curved rear corners are evidence that you have one of the earlier models.

In answer to your questions, I do have tech information on these cars and electrical diagrams. Much will depend on dating the car. In addition to a serial number, a photo of the area under the seat and the speed control will also help determine which car you have.

The car originally had chrome baby moons on it. These are still available from Vintage Golf Car Parts in Washington state. Tell the owner, Rod Wilde that I sent you. He’s a good friend and very helpful on some of these things. Your car also had a plexiglass windshield and rear window. These are both easily fabricated by most plastics shops. I usually recommend working with someone who does this work on boats as they do a much better job than most. They should also be able to help you with the rubber molding for the rear window. If you need to know the profile of that rubber I have it here.

That's pretty neat information he provided there.
