Hi guys,
I know I have many builds in progress, but I can't keep the progress on this build from you.
Since I saw some awesome/beautiful ratrod soapbox ideas here on Ratrodbikes and ideas on pinterest, I had to do something with that.
My idea is to build a radio flyer / soapbox ratrod that you can hook up on your bicycle. Possibly with the front wheels off the ground, when hooked up. The pulling bar can be removed and used for pushing. And ideally the passenger/driver can steer too. Need a link-system for that.
Nice for playing with the kids and practicality for a day elsewhere or groceries in style.
Inspiration (not my pictures)
Parts I have so far:
Everything is second hand. I did order new bearings and will use new tires when necessary.
I have two front wheels.
Very wide! May use wheelbarrow tires in the end.
Getting an idea with that wheelbarrow tub.
Now looking for parts:
Steel chassis profiles.
Rusty or patina'd tub (wheel barrow or radio flyer).
Ideas/Notes:
Thanks for reading/watching!
