HI again well I tore the stool down today so now I can finish welding it up then I have to decide on a color really like the red but dont want to copy Mike so I'm thinkin maybe orange or something what do ya think
any orange ones out there.:me:

[mrpenguin]

I thought about doing another one in powder blue .... really pale. The thing that makes the stool look great is the contrast between black shiny tires and bright aluminum and chrome. Somethin about it just gets my socks goin up and down. I had a fire engine red stool and a bright yellow one (you can find it posted on the forum) and my fave was the yellow. See if you can work in some aluminum diamond plate someplace just for the look.

[caribooarcher]

:thumb: great advice....thanks. I have diamond plate for the floor boards and have been thinking about a wing

the more I think about it the more I like the idea of the orange, it is the same color as the anodized wheels I have, which I can have a buddy at a local body shop mix me up some to match. I'll try to come up with more shiny items to attach ,we'll see what happens :thumb:

[caribooarcher]

Well i finished painting and did almost all the final assembly today. I am just waiting to get my wheel hubs, I got some used rains from a guy I know , who just happened to race karts before which I didn't know, until talking about my bsr and he gave me tires and wheels (WOOHOO).
my kinda price .... now I wont have to use my ugly old slicks .
so hopefully this week coming i will be able to take her out and give her a try. Can't wait:blob_red:

[caribooarcher]

OK here are some pic's of my stool finished and on her Maiden voyage

[mrpenguin]

I like the wheelie bars. Looks like they work well. Nice job!

[wayfat]

hey, that looks great. i did one for my buddy, and he painted it orange. i liked it so much i almost trade him one of mine. those wheels look really nice, too.
great job,
wayfat

Nice exhaust. Where did you get that pipe?

I like the fuel tank too.

We're fabbing right now and for the time being, I'm just going to make little offsets and use the factory tank under the stool.

But I'd like to pick up some mini-kegs and use them as fuel tanks.
