My cooler puller pit car

#1
My wife's cousin in North Carolina is a racecar fabricator and racing driver consultant. He is involved with Nascar racing and asphalt Legend cars. He saw pictures of my other builds, and asked if I would make him a barstool type vehicle to pull a cooler around the pits passing out his sponser's drinks, NOS energy.
As in all my builds I used scrap tubing, sheet metal, and design in my head as I go along. This 'ride' took a lot of hand bending, hammering sheetmetal, cussing and so on. I am in poor health, so it took about 3 months. It didn't help when I tripped on my shop apron and broke several ribs either. After 10 days of healing I rebroke them by a sudden sneeze. It has a HF 6.5hp. I hand made everything including the dual exhaust and sewing the seat. He's not seen it yet, so I hope he likes it. It rides very,very nice. Enough talking, it's time for pictures.

That's is figgin cool, a cross between a mussel car and a mini.
If you build this good with broken ribs your work must be off the hook when your at 100% . Do you have pics of the cooler it pulls?

Very nice sir :thumbsup::bowdown:
