Great job using the old wagon as your bulkhead and radiator forms truly in the spirit of making do with what you have

Looking good mate 👍🏻 Liking the bulkhead, got a nice shape to it.

[@Oldguydosestuff]

Going to take a bit of work, but I saw a little potential in some free scrap 😉 Cider keg for engine cover next, if it’s not too heavy over the rear 🤞

Nice to see someone building an Edwardian style car, but isn't sinking the floor down below the frame rails going to make the seat position look wrong or are you still planning for the seat to be above axle height? Thoroughly enjoying your build series so far, and great choice of car style to copy.

I’m going to paint the floor pan Matt or satin black to camouflage it 😉 I’ll have the seating low so I can weight shift out of the opening for stability in corners at the cost of appearance I could always add a thick cushion for demo runs to help the looks 🤔

@@Oldguydosestuff Good plan, sounds like you've put quite a bit of thought into it. I saw the cyclekarts racing on the beech at Bridlington, they look like great fun.

@@Walt_G I saw them a few weeks after at Melvin kit car show and started building 2 days later 😂😂😂 I had seen them on KZbin before but not enough in the UK to encourage me to start a build till then

@@Oldguydosestuff I'm in south Wales and unfortunately nothing CycleKart related seems to happen in this area, which puts me off having a go at building one. But it does seem to be growing in the UK so maybe I'll change my mind at some point. I've enjoyed watching various builds on youtube though, including yours.
