Some very nice rides there. When I finish my Sports, it will go on the back of the Hillman

Although given the Rat Rod theme, this may be a better Morris (sadly I no longer own this one).

Kinda hoping that that wheelbarrow tub will be used in this project....

Stop thinking like me, ive been trying to figure out how to cut it and where. Exhaust pipes are definitely going from the wheelbarrow to the cart. I bought the wheelbarrow to bring the rock around the house between the fence and cement. Took me a whole day to move it all. Havent used the wheel barrow since. I was actually thinking about cutting it for a body part. But do I use it as a hood or a boat tail? Not counting it out

Exactly what Im trying to incorporate with this

I ordered this steering wheel today. Im cutting out a bracket and a friend is going to weld it to a 23 mm impact socket to go on the column. My play time just got cut for the week, a shade structure arrived today and I need to get it constructed before the wife comes back on friday and surprise her.

Sounds like you need to buy a 2nd wheelbarrow....

Is that a Fink kit, or a mash up? Too rad! Barris meets Roth, what a beautiful baby! I totally NEED that

I have thought about it but I have to get it stripped and rebuilt before thinking about a body. I was looking up what people do with old shopping carts and sticking them on go carts. If I just had more time

Those are all sweet, but for some reason it hurts me a little seeing the motor mount on that canoe.
I worked at a canoe shop all through college and we did repairs and restorations. I always tried to be period correct with the wood boats and I even bought old tools so all my marks and the flow of the work would be good.

What about a trailer, to carry a bike?

It was just a google image search result of ratmobile fink

Ive seen some small yard lawn mower trailers. Maybe something to carry a cooler. It wont be driven much other than around the block or to the mailbox and a play toy when nephews are over.

A nice upgrade

 

[user 31668]

Got a bit of it apart tonight. Looks like the rear axle was put in then the hubs were welded in place. I have a friend with a welding company that will look at it and help me cut and weld. Ordered new wheel bearings, not sure what the axle bearings are. And I put the wheelbarrow to good use. Also thinking of changing the brake lever to an up high pole with an 8 ball on it to resemble a high rat fink style stick shift

I got it apart a little more tonight. Reminds me of Herbie at the end of the Love Bug movie

Twas a 13 hour day at work. All I did on the cart was open the box the wheel bearings came in
