I'm just not seeing the cafe racer with the small front wheel. The frame seems better suited for the caricature images ^ that you posted.
Just my opinion.

Appreciate it. I've looked at that too. I still don't have enough mockup flexibility with the stem still stuck. Once I get it removed (even if I have to cut it), then I'll be able to better visually test out the various ideas and concepts.
 
Cut in half might not be that bad but would need a set of these for sure View attachment 233895


The Michael Blast Greaser battery tank has the padded indentions you are referencing in your pic. I think this tank and the kiddie car body are of similar scale.

Changed out the rear wheel and added some rubber to the front mag.

Slipped a saddle on and the only bars I had handy. Obviously, the stem is still stuck, so I flipped the bars.

I have a rider, but the bars wont tighten up completely and there is a slight bit of chainrub on the fattio tires. So I just rode around the block and took a couple of pics to show off part of Queenfish's floral wonderland out front.

Just saw this version of the kiddie car.

The Fatti-O on the rear….winner!
Loving the way the ‘rust truck’ is looking so far

Looks great with the fat rubber on it King!


Thanks, the 24x3 Fatti-O and the similar tread 20 chubby up front really help with the stance and vibe.
I did have thoughts of mounting a 26x4 Felt ZigZag on a normal width rear rim with some dropout extensions to reallllllly exaggerate the bigrear/smallfront proportions, but this just seems to fit so much better.
 
It does minic that a little.

I just saw this cool little beastie for inspiration.
