    Dude, you need to be locked up tight and never let go. That's the ****dest little thing I've see in a long while. If I had grand children, I'd make them sit on that!

    Foot, it reminds me of my brother's Corvair trike! Bit more advanced though...well, LOT more advanced. I still fondly remember him running past the local Dairy King and the 18" extended Harley springer separating from the trike and heading in the opposite direction...such are the memories of youth.

    It doesn't show here, but I actually dry-brushed some Brass Paint here and there after I did the oil (used ATF on this one). The "brass brush after torch" would have been nice, but I didn't think to do it until after the oil was slathered on....but Yeah, I was thinking "SteamPunk". I also personally liked it before I put that "seat" (plow point) on it, but I was getting a lot of "So, where's the seat?" jabber, so I welded that on.

    Whenever I make something that could be mounted, I weld up the wheels so it can't roll. Too many Grandmas would let the little darlings play wit it out in the paved drive that is downhill to a busy street!

    For example...this lovely piece, made from exhaust tubing, and festooned with lug nuts and shell casings and slugs from a defunct military shooting range, was being seriously looked at by a lady who wanted it for her Child Care center for the kids to "enjoy and play with" ...I strongly discouraged her, and there have been others, because so many of my little cars and such have that appeal, I reckon.

    (This ended up on a ranch)
