cool, like the bucket pushed back like that. I didn't think it looked too low, but I like the low look. I dont think this style would be meant for off road trails but that's just my opinion. seems like a rough ride w/o suspension for off road.

Its not going on trails really just some open feilds around my house, Playgrounds and such lol. I just dont want it to be limited to the street. And i dont need suspension ill just make a nice soft seat lol

That start of yesterdays fun right here. I took the tub, A piece of 5/16 round, a piece of flat and a 3/8 square tube to my girls dads house and started the fun.

Marked out some new measurments and made some new line out of a template so how i want my curve to come out.

Line cut out all smooth and clean, filed them down to be smooth.

Then i went through and made some nice tack welds. Keep in mind this is only my 2nd time welding. I did this with just tacks. The Bucket was really thin so i did what i could. He is going to fill in the rest today. Then its :grind: then fab and paint

Nice project. Makes me want to do something like that with a hillbilly moonshiner theme. Cops would never catch me if I put a clone on it.:thumbsup:

Are you going to mount the motor behind the tub or in front? in front would be really cool but harder to do, but if you rigged up a jackshaft setup it could be done. :shrug:

So not much to update. Was sick for the last 2 weeks, Finally got into the garage yesterday. I mocked up a front end radiator looking thing. then i bent some of the random scrap pipe i had laying around and welded it up. Ill have some pictures before the day is over just forgot to take pictures during the process lol.
