Long way to go,but I spent all day on it today.
I found these washers either from my pajero or off a electric cable wheel.They make great little caps.

I made another double hub for the new rear wheel.Slice the thread from a another old hub.

Fits perfect on top.

Welded it on.

Welded on part of a old fork for the steering

I was going to weld one nut on the frame,but don't think I need to now.I will double nut.

When I am always working 1 of my dogs always lays under my feet.Sparks are flying and he still doesn't move.

Broke a disc today,lucky I had hold of the machine.

Managed to weld on the rest of the tray,the sides bits are 80cm but cut them down to 68cm.

If it doesn't work,I could always turn it into a table with a brolly holder.

A look at the wheel with the band brakes mounted. It's a bit wider than the other one. I could slice off a few cm's,but dont think it will make much difference.Need to fix the rear section,looks a bit out of line.

A look with the fancy scrolls welded in,also a idea of the foot brake and steering position.

Most of the parts I am using are from off this bike,seatpost etc. Maybe I might put a smaller crankset on it?
Have this old motorcycle brake,will try and get that mounted somehow.

The tray is the right height,also with the cooker.

Made it 100cm so that I can fit a gas bottle in,also,room for buns and a esky/ice chest for the weenie's

Things left to do on the front tray:
1-Mount handles for the steering.(weld)
2-Make a brolly and light mounts (weld)
3-Make the wood box,floor,doors,lid + guards.
4-Paint box: Will be red but was thinking to do the tray frame black or red,still need to decide.
5-Paint the graphics.

Things to do on the frame:
1-Sort out the foot brake lever(weld)
2-Suicide shifter mount(weld)
3-Fix the rear end
4-Mount a hand brake lever
5-Paint.

Wheels need to be sprayed and greased.

Here's a small walk around.
As you can hear it is windy.

Thanks for the video update... it's looking good.

Sounds like you've picked up a bit of a Greek twang in your accent... you must've been there a while.

Glen.

Bit cold and airy in the winter,sticky at the moment from the mulberries dropping down. But cool in the summer.The hay bales stop the wind when I pile them up.

The wind keeps the place cool,without it.Its like being inside a fireplace.

Thanx KF,not use to talking to myself or filming.But if Luke can do it I purchased a new camera still waiting for it to arrive?

The frame is all sanded,so I need to apply a coat of primer before the surface rust starts again.Here it happens over night.
I will paint it with good old fashion minio paint first.
Stops rust brilliant product.

 

[Funkme]

I'm still in and progressing slowly.
In the end I just found a old metal primer,and slapped that on without thinner?
Have been busy with work and was about to pull out of this rat race,but I am pushing it for now.
The heat is a stinker,and the pc is being stubborn.

I widen the top part of the rear stay and reweld the bar in.And was trying to figure it out why the bike lent to the left.

I scratched my head tried bending it straight etc.
In the end the tire was down on the left side,

Bent some plumbing tube for the handles.

Sorted out the brake system.Has 2 brakes.
The foot brake wich is attached to the band brake.And will have the normal old school brakes that came with the bike.

Used the pedal from a old motorbike with a spring.

Cut the wood for the box,I'm thinking to leave it natural instead of painting it a color?

Just using old wood that is ment to look like bamboo.It's light so does the trick.

Undercoat with a metal primer,even purchased the thinner....I was in such a rush,and being a sunday yesterday.I just slapped it on.

The red.

The gold.

The hub caps before.

After

The hotdog?

All I need to do is paint.
Finish the wood for the box + Graphics.
Weld the handlebar on and brolly holder.
Mount lights.
Mount it all together.
If I can get the hotdog box up and running,even better.
But for now,just want to finish the bike.

I can't even find myself,so a search party would have no luck...
