    Poll: A Proper Rat Rod Clear Coat Sheen

    Flat. Although there are occasions when satin can be optinal, but never gloss.

    Ratification.

    Changed my mind, was not happy with the look using that scooter body. Had an other (hopefully better) idea to use it. On the other hand, I´m quite happy with the front part of the frame so I cut it in half and make a new rear section. As you mentioned ( and I earlier), darker and rustier is the...

    You in with what?

    Is it ok to start again some abandoned beginning of a project from the past? I mean, once upon a time I thought that I had an idea good enough but no. So, now the remains are somewhere out there and I might like to try again (not to waste good metal).

    keeping the frame straight while modifying???

    I have no jig so that´s a fail #1 but how do you keep it straight without? Eyeballing? Front is pretty decent but the rear wheel will not center, what ever I try. It´s always offline after welding... That scooter body does NOT make it easier...

    Ratification.

    I´m still on the fence with the colour combo. I may have to disgard the idea of keeping the old colour of the scooter and go some other route. Thoughts?

    Ratification.

    No it´s not. Just an idea I had when I received that scooter body.

    Countdown to build off 18

    Once more, I may try to take part mostly because class 2 is this time what I was waiting. I will name it "Ratified" (as a next step to my Ratification).

    Ratification.

    Not quite ready yet but you get the idea. It was supposed to be ready by the time Finland got ratified by all NATO members (hence the name), but did not quite make the dead line. But soon... PS. The scooter body was like that when I got it. My idea was to to keep it as it was and try to mimic...

    post trike pictures

    Did you finish that? How does it ride with rear wheels so close to each other. 2-wheel drive or just 1?

    Trike?

    I have a few parts that could be used to make a trike (1 front / 2 rear tyres) but I´ve never ridden one of those. How is it? Rideability I mean. It doesn´t act like a normal bike so how is it? Good? Stupid? Bad?

    You bunch those yourself? What kind of tools you use? Handtools or machine?
