Below is his written submission detailing his build. This cart that we named the "Goblin" was from the NC Coast and was pretty roached out when I got it. The salt air is not kind to steel and aluminum together. I did a full teardown, replacing all bushings and bolts (mostly with stainless).

I went with the Gussi Italia "Lugana" steering wheel and was quite impressed with
