Yesteryear Carts initially told me they can only convert Easy Go and Yamaha carts. Then they came and picked up my Columbia Par Car and asked their mechanics to look at it for conversion. They returned my cart and said they could do a conversion.

Now I'm struggling to convince myself that cute is worth thousands of dollars.
Yeah, I first saw it in the paper a few weeks ago. Very rough description follows:

The deal is that they add the frame to your chassis. Base cost is something like $5300 for the coupe and $5900 for the truck. This does not include the doors and a couple other things. A very wide choice of colors is available, but two-tone, flames, and special designs are extra. I was told it would be about 2-3 weeks to design the shell and a week to assemble it. Doors are, in my opinion, mandatory. Other options/choices I want, add a total of about $1800 to the base.

One caveat of note, though obvious really, is that the top is fully warrantied, but the chassis, motor, brakes, etc., are all yours. And remember my comment above --- dollar amounts are SWAGs.
