That makes me really happy yoothgeye, that's the reason I post my builds, hoping someone finds it helpful.
That plate is regular iron I guess, just scrap I have around to build dropouts. I Polished and clear coated it... hope it lasts for a while, more pics tomorrow after I stain the wood.
Nice work on that wheel Gdcast!

That is AWESOME!!! :shock:
Thanks outskirts!
Everything you see done here I picked up on this forum, I would have never even thought of building this whole thing without the influence and knowledge gained here.
First coat of stain has been applied, next one tonight after work, I promise pics!!

Hi guys, it's been a long time since I last posted any progress, I apologize for that.
Soon I'll post pics of painted wheels, dashboard, and rear end.
Yesterday I relocated the front end behind the grill and now I like it better; thing I'm not convinced about is the grill.
It's gonna take a lot of time and effort to make it look decent and I'm not sure if I'll be able to pull it off at the end, so I need you guys to help me.
I cant' seem to find any source on the web to buy a grill. Remember I'm located in South America and that complicates things a bit.
It would be great if any of you could point me in the right direction!

Weld it up out of stainless rod?

Ah! Sorry! Yeah, that is a bit harder.

It's all right Luke! Thanks for being there mate! Decided to stick with what I have, is going to be a lot of work, but is worthy.
Took some progress pics:
The result so far:
Color matches the wheel:
Re aligned front end, moved behind the grill:
And finally, The Grill

Thank you so much guys, your good vibes are working for me!
Made some progress today
New coat of bondo on the grill, with a couple more it's gonna be just as good as I want it:
Finished the drive train and the rear end!!!:
Bending that rod without heating it was the most difficult thing I've done working with metal!
Owner came visit the garage, I think she approves:
Next is to get that grill done, the seat and fitting the wheels.
I need to find out how to build the direction arm, so all the ideas pics and experience you want to share are very welcomed!

I think this is the coolest build going on right now!
Thank you very much for the kind words guys, I really appreciate it!
I need to find time to start on the seat and finish the steering column, after that is just details and it will be a roller.
Stay tuned for more, and thanks again for all the support!
