low rat wagon

admin

I had an old rusty wagon tub so I decided to remake it better. I fabed up a dropped axle and tube frame. I still need to make the steering components and handle. Plans call for an Indian blanket interior and patina striping. I will post up more as I get to it.

Reply:Hey moose, nice lil wagon man. The side profile illustrates the stance/cool factor the pretty good.This will be a first in my life, but man nice Fakebook page. I only briefly perused though and only saw what was on your first page. I like your posters, pretty cool. What really strikes my fancy is the pipe segment table (cocktail table or something?). And the baskets.. cool baskets!-NicheLast edited by NicheFab; 01-29-2015 at 02:31 PM.

Reply:Got a little more done. Front end is roughed in. Drop axle drilled and mounted. Steering is mocked up. The tie rods will be changed over to heim joints when they arrive. I still need to make the pull handle and finish welding everything... Attached ImagesTimmetalcraft by mooseSoutheast Michiganhttps://www.facebook.com/Metalcraftbymoose  Stupid Hurts!!
