Looks like you've gotten a go from close to half the active members, the rest probably haven't seen this yet.................so looks like a go to me.
That fan shroud has a very nice shape to it, hope you can incorporate that into the final design..............I think I can already see some swoopy pinstriping on it. Wrap that fuel tank in some brushed aluminum with a couple appropriately shaped end caps and it's a Moon tank!Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Darn it Bob I can picture that
I could use something like the skiny boat trailer tires and build moon discs for them 
Unfortunatly we're kind of comitted to a different direction on this one. On the other hand my youngest grandson may pick up the bug too and it will give me enough time to keep an eye out for parts!!!!!!
.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

One other project I'm collecting parts for is a mini tractor. I'm using an old Cub Cadet and going to build a small version of a 560 Diesel. I have a 7hp Hatz diesel I'm using on it. It may end up being some thing more practical to use than I first thought.

Tot rods, hell yes it fits this site.
Nice project, I totally dig the wheelbarrow restro concept.
Looking forward to it!.
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

I can't believe one person, Pepi, doesn't like this idea. Is this the HAMB? Oops, did I just say that?

We did, the car was built and the kids have been using it about a year now. Even got it motorized.
Grandkids Coaster Car build.
Unfortunately Cade is just about outgrown it (he really has to squirm to fit anymore), but his sister still fits and it won't be too long before his younger brother will be able to get some seat time.

So as we speak the drawings and design work are into the correct Govnt. departments for planning approval so that you can build the next size up with the young man ? Don't they grow so quick and I hope that interest in all engineering that Grand dad sparked in the young man is still burning strong for the next project ?
I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.
