  • A wrap up video of the work that we did on Cleetus McFarland's golf cart after the Build Wars crash. We finished the roll cage, added much better braking, fixed the wheelie bars and perfected the weight setup for doing near endless wheelies, lol. In this video we get Cleetus' reaction as we deliver the cart back to him and then rip it around the Freedom Factory track for the reveal video.
