Fabbed a splash guard between the seat post & baby seat, since there will be no rear fender. Installed the floor plate on the trailer; some Victorian embellishments will fill out the detail of the floor plate.

OddJob, good eye. Actually it is extended side pedal used to play my cajon bass. The second pedal is my hi-hat. I have a snare cajon & tom; all wood set. Use it to play acoustically.

Order 99, no plans to add a motor. What would be wild is to place a pusher motor on the trailer, yuk, yuk.

Repurposed & "aged" 2 curtain rod ends for a rear mini rack on the baby seat. Made a pair of rear rigid struts to be "rusted" later.

KF, is it really possible to go too far? I think not. I am doo dad junkie in rehab. Yuk, yuk.

Falstaff, that's way it was designed by the manufacturer. This bike was formerly a Solex moped built in 1960 and has to be able to withstand torque as well as weight stress. The chain guard is hard steel and is one contiguous beam.

Uncle Shish, now that's an idea I can drink to.

The chain guard is integral part of the frame, also acting as the chain stay & part of the drop out. Truly multi functional design.

Extended the fender and "rusted" the rest of frame. To do list for the bike: rust the fender extension, make leather pad inserts for the rear baby seat, make a rear fender & rust, make a rear stand, order the skinny front wheel, tires, chain & grips. To do list for the Buggy Trailer: finish...

Attached the Victorian style heat grate; will fill in void in the floor between the trunk & grate.

The new spring location looks great.

OddJob, appreciate the positive comments brother.

Rework the pedals to fit the look of this build.

Mock up of the seats made from the drawer parts.

TRM, thanks brother I really appreciate the kind words.

Bought these 2 red oak vintage drawers @thrift store. Dismantled the drawers & will cut to fit as the platform for the bike baby seat. Will face out the key holes; and add small leather pad inserts for comfort.

Patina applied to the front strut and handle bars.

Extended the struts for balance detail.

Headlamp mounted.

Took a defunct solar crystal to act as the headlamp bulb; and took the old bike brake tensioners and repurposed them to be the headlamp brackets.
