[GeePig]

Probably so, but there is no fun hunting for bike parts at Walmart.

Although I might disagree, as I always check out all the local stores, because buried in there somewhere there is often something unexpected...

You know, I have a governor housing for a truck-mounted generator that looks very much like a small supercharger. I think it may be the perfect size for your "blown drag mill".

 

[late for dinner]

The Kleenex box with a built-in blower is nothing to sneeze at.
It's naughty.
Valve covers obviously panned out well, so I'll take the liberty to suggest a muffin pan exhaust manifold with dual exhaust/tail light combo.
Perhaps a couple of old tapered/flare able leg (or kids baseball bats?) with length TBD will work to scale and flow with frame. Shorty drag pipes or full twins shooting out under the seat.
Maybe with flashing speed holes.
A tank/plate and frame could offer support for any extended pipes.
An ironic name change idea with the Muffin pan mod and existing equipment and would be 'The Loafer'.

The kiddie car body is making a comeback. I never really cut into it to truly see how it would fit. So that changed today. Sliced it where the front curve ends so that if i need to extend the body then it is all straight line metalwork.

 

[kingfish254]

Notched the rear end to fit the tire and seatstays and allow me to lower the body down so that the bottom is parallel with the midtube of the frame.

 

[kingfish254]

Then I got under the hood and marked up where the seatpost hole needed to be.

 

[kingfish254]

It's lining up pretty nicely for a first trye mockup fitting. Of course the engine should be able to slide back about 3 to 4 inches once i start slicing it to fit.

 

[kingfish254]

We'll see how the grill works later.

 

[Fv2]

I kinda like it.

 

[SwissGuy]

I sincerely hope you keep going in this direction, 'cause it already looks awesome!

 

[Bike from the Dead]

I'm wondering if you could make that light shine through the grill...

This build is the embodiment of Rat Rod bikes.

Good to see the return of the kiddie car.

Now push the engine back to the sheet metal, add the nose to the front and you're in like Flynn!

 

[kingfish254]

 

[RustySprockets]

With the engine nestled back, the whole project becomes less nose-heavy.

 

[kingfish254]

Took a cockpit only pic. The legs of my shorts brush the car body, but it doesn't interfere with pedaling at all.

[metalchewy]

I like this look. Seems wide, but still like it a lot. Good move on adding it and cutting it in.

 

[Bike from the Dead]

That's looking a whole lot better!
