Papa's taxi

Brian, this build is finishing up nicely! That checkerboard tank insert is perfect.

I could see a Final Photo on a busy street, in a city, parked by a curb!

Here's some musical inspiration from Joni Mitchell to bring it on home...Big Yellow Taxi.

Thanks I appreciate that . Haven't thought about final pics yet but you have given me some ideas.

Coming together well! It's really incredible, how you managed to translate the vibe/stance from a checker cab to your bike!

Thank you had a idea in my head on how I wanted to do it and some others as it came along seeing other builds.

Work on the paint on the kid hauler this weekend was all for not. Had some paint lift when taking the vinyl squares off after painting the black over the white.

Guess I rushed it and should have let it dry for a few days longer. So now sand it back down and try again.

I actually kind of like that look. It's a taxi, it's been around the block a few times.

Found this checkerboard vinyl tape to fix the kiddie hauler

Worked on putting the hauler together interior, the seat, pads

Had my daughter make one more decal

just had to get a look at it with the bike

Just need to finish up few things like hooking up the lights adjust the three speed and couple other things that probably forgetting about.

Pretty much finished wiring the lights. I am going to use this battery since the lights are 12v.

made this out of sheet metal to hold the battery and covered it with same stuff I used on seat and kiddie hauler.

used a pull switch on the headlight since I ruined the toggle switch that was there trying to resolder a wire that had came off.

got this for brake light just need to find a red plastic lens I can cut down to fit.

Went to my photo spot yesterday and got some pics and short ride video. Got a couple bugs to work out like not shifting tighten couple things but overall it went good. Will post later in finished section.

That's cool! Great ride vid. The kids looked like they were really enjoying it too!

They did and my other grandkids got upset because they didn't get to ride yet.

Didn't know about that was thinking about finding one of the round plastic trailer lights and cutting the lens to fit or maybe a red led bulb if I can find one.
