I figure about 2 more weeks on this thing and I will put the wheels on the truck.

It's nice to do something different than old trucks sometimes. I actually have an old motorcycle to restore next. Don't worry though, wheels will be installed as soon as this minibike is done.

Besides, I'm having to wait for the adapters for the Momo teddy bear wheels anyway.

I think the wheels on this are going to be too small for the truck.

Tx Firefighter · 05-23-2010, 06:04 PM

Almost finished with the little scoot !

joe231 · 05-23-2010, 06:18 PM

Thats cool!!

VA72C10 · 05-23-2010, 06:35 PM

Very cool!

I needed one of those saturday..will they let you ride one at the swap meets etc? I saw some cool slammed wagons..but that was it

Tx Firefighter · 05-23-2010, 09:34 PM

I'm building it strictly for swap meet duty. They won't let you ride it during the day, but I camp at the swaps so after hours it's game on.

daverod · 05-23-2010, 11:22 PM

Saw one of these today. At first I thought the guy had built it from scratch. Turns out it's a kit.

150mpg 40mph.

Bikes looking good Kevin.

likaroc13 · 05-24-2010, 12:02 AM

that's looking great man! i love how u put so much detail into everything you do...and even though it's technically not the same, i vote that you pose for a Dumb & Dumber picture for us...."I get 70 miles to the gallon on this hog."

JohnC · 05-24-2010, 11:34 AM

Very cool Kevin!

aggie91 · 05-24-2010, 12:53 PM

That scooter is going to look great. When/Where is the next big swap meet you're heading to?

rahatawa · 05-24-2010, 01:22 PM

just a thought. but chrome cable clamps might clean up the scoot a bit if you don't mind springing for them

We're going to set up at the fall La Grave swap meet. After last year's poor showing, we decided to skip the summer La Grave. It was 110 and no one was shopping for stuff so we didn't make any money.

Actually, since I posted the pictures, I have installed chrome cable clamps on the frame for both throttle and brake cables. Thank you though.

Earning it's keep today. There's a front half of a 73-87 Blazer and 800 pounds of short iron in the bed and 1100 pounds on the trailer. Total right at 2300 pounds of scrap metal loaded onto the thing...

dougminton · 06-01-2010, 12:50 PM

subscibed (for the truck and the bike)

Tx Firefighter · 08-22-2010, 09:07 AM

I haven't been on the board in a couple of months so I figured I'd log in to update a little.

I actually traded the truck off for a Dodge truck yesterday. The new owner is a lurker on here. He seems to be very excited about having the farm truck. Before letting it go, I did knock my shop logos off the doors though. I got burned once selling a truck with my name on it. The guy said he'd remove it when he got it home but Shane saw it at a swap meet a year later with my name still on the truck.

**DPowers** · 08-22-2010, 09:11 AM

I was wondering where you had gotten off to... must be a heckuva Dodge for you to trade.

It's quite a truck for sure. It's going to be nice to shift gears and work on something non GM for awhile.

joe231 · 08-22-2010, 09:54 AM

What the heck man?
You gotta post pics of the dodge so we can see if you need an intervention....

Tx Firefighter · 08-22-2010, 10:36 AM

Big Joe, pics are on Facebook. Josh and Liz were looking at it yesterday and gave it thumbs up.

joe231 · 08-22-2010, 11:10 AM

I must admit, that is a pretty cool dodge, and a cummins to boot!

JohnC · 08-23-2010, 09:53 AM

Sorry to hear about you selling the farm truck man. However, I know you like to mix things up quite a bit. Now that you sold the truck, doesn't mean you can't still come hang out though.
