Cart By Seney2 Customs

Interview with Chuck Seney of Seney2 Customs

GCMAG: Hi Chuck, thank you for joining us today. Can you start by telling us where your business, Seney2 Customs, is located?

CHUCK SENEY: Sure, we're located in North Greenbush, NY.

GCMAG: Great, now let's talk about the custom build you recently completed. Can you tell us what year, brand, and model the cart is?

CHUCK: It's a 1989 EZ-GO Marathon custom dune buggy golf cart.

GCMAG: That sounds like quite the unique build. Can you give us some more details about the customization process and what sets this cart apart from others?

CHUCK: Absolutely. First off, I want to say that this build, as with all my custom carts, would not be possible without the countless hours of help from Vic Dejohn. Vic designs all my electrical systems and ships me quality parts. Vic also goes above and beyond with helping me when I have questions or need advice.

This cart started life as a 1989 EZGO Marathon. Once in my shop, it was stripped down to the bare frame and replaced everything with brand new modern parts and upgraded to a 48-volt system. Hundreds of hours of labor went into this truly custom build. Everything used in this build is brand new technology, with over $7000 in new parts alone, plus all the labor to build this one-of-a-kind machine.

The custom fiberglass dune buggy body is covered in Dodge Viper red paint. It's 8 inches wider and 4 inches longer than stock, which makes it drive like a mini truck. Every inch of wiring and cables are brand new, and no corners were cut when building this truly unique high-end cart. It features an Admiral 8hp speed/torque motor, Curtis 500-amp programmable controller, Curtis Albright heavy duty solenoids, brand new NAPA golf cart batteries, and much more.

GCMAG: Wow, that's quite the impressive list of features. Were there any custom fabrication or custom made parts in this build?

Chuck: Yes, this is a 1970's Meyer Manx style fiberglass body cut down and reworked to fit the golf cart.

GCMAG: That's really cool. Can you tell us a bit about your background and how you got into building custom golf carts? CHUCK: I've been building and customizing cool items for over 35 years. I started to build golf carts about 15 years ago and have never looked back.

GCMAG: It sounds like you have a lot of experience in this field. What are your future plans for you or your company?

CHUCK: My plan is to continue building one-off custom golf carts one at a time. Each cart is unique and personalized for the individual customer, and I want to keep that level of customization in every build.

GCMAG: Thanks Chuck, we can't wait to see what you build in the future.
