No carriage bolts at all, or just none in the size you need? I don't recollect seeing anything smaller than 1/4-20 ever.
Pop rivets would be cool, but you got her done now. Looking good.

Plenty of normal sized carriage bolts, just nothing down at the #8-32 size that I am using.
I considered pop rivets, but I just decided they aren't right for this contraption. I need more adjustability to get all of these very odd pieces to fit together.

I always like the pictures of your bikes next to the "No Cycling" pavement markings!

Spotted this beauty at Lowes this morning.

Very, very nice old Fold.

It's probably about the same age as me, that's how I know it's old!

It's all about perspective.
I read this as "CYCLING ON"!!!!!!

Playing around with the engine parts.
First I spread out the ends of the loaf tin valve covers to fit better on the engine.

Next I'm thinking through a couple of different placements for the pipes.

At first, i was thinking about them angling down and the up at 45 degrees similar to rail dragsters.

But I am thinking that doesn't flow as well with the build and really would have them just hanging out there to break off.


I think i am leaning towards mounting them the same way they were on the mickey car. Straight down, then angled out from there.

Keep in mind, this is just supposed to be a kiddie car cartoon facsimile of an engine.

I like it straight down like it was on the Mickey car. Also, I feel like the loaf tins need to be an inch or so shallower.

This is the way ^

I kinda like the oversized cartoonish valve covers, but it's worth a try. I am pretty sure there was one last mini loaf tin I can get from goodwill on the way to dinner.
I'll go pinch a loaf and let y'all know how it comes out.

@BobbyStillz and @Captain Awesome
Pinched a medium loaf at 1 5/8 and tested it. The normal loaf is a little over 2 inches.

 

[kingfish254]

Then I pinched a loaf that was smaller at 1 1/8 and tested it under the porch since a big boom of thunder scared the loaf outta me in the courtyard.

Better.

That shortened pan is far more appealing
