ha ha ha I did that yrs ago, 40 to be exact, put a steering wheel on my hand me down raleigh 20, ive not seen it again till today! thank you ha ha ha !
we had a demolition derby and stunt show up the local rugby park, the smashed up cars that they jump over for stunts get left behind for days. I went up on that weekend and un bolted an old steering wheel!, raced home and chucked it on my bike, I have no pics as those days it was mums camera with a roll of film and no one was allowed to take pics of silly bike, it was unheard of!
the bike looks fantastic by the way, I can see the resemblence to the original machine!

Made the openings more symetical with the centerline or shifter. Also copied the profile of the tire in the back. Dressed up all of the openings. The Toadster body is solidly secured now. I can even pick up the bike from it.
Wow, where did the time go today. All of that work took over 6 hours!
You better hurry up and get some shiny new paint on that thing! You know how I love nice paint!
Here is something cool. A few days back I was scrolling through some google images of "supercharged roadsters" for inspiration. This was one of the images and I noticed it was from Salisbury, MD where my hot rod building uncle lives. I posted it on his FB page cause I thought he would like it. Turns out, he knew the owner and the car. The owner actually did the interior of the 39 Chevy my uncle used to own (his first street rod).

I wish we had some cool stuff here, like that. Cheap parts...
Lovin this, it's sooo crazy wacky.
I bet you, it will be sold in a jiffy at a track meet.

It sits on there so goooooooood!
Great work on securing the body to the frame!
As I looked at this photo more closely, I thought,
"That Toadster is in it's natural environment, and all the colors are right there!"
The algea and lichen aged block wall, pond plants, and your vintage patina frame all fit.

I think I paid even less for the other kiddie car that I'm using. It was only5 or 10 bucks at a yard sale.
Thanks. I'm very pleased with how solid it turned out. The time was worth it since this is the foundation for putting the other parts together. It's really cool how well the size and shape work with the frame too. The bottom line of the kiddie car is almost perfectly even with the top of the mid tube. Once I get the speed rails on there, they should be close to even with the bottom of the mid tube.

I was driving. It's true
Had to share this cool Wheeler Dealer bike that Craig Morrow of Bicycle Heaven in Pittsburgh just scored. Someday, I hope to make my pilgrimage there.
Hope everyone had a Happy Independence Day here in the USA.
