Project wheelbarrow: Part Three

After completing the nifty new aluminum back brace. The whirl wind in my head slowly turned direction into to finding "things" I could modify into real custom laguslations.

Finding a whip-ditty piece of aircraft aluminum with a nice white plastic, epoxy or enamel finish,(I am unsure of it's make) I duly trimmed and grinded it into a cool new fender into the exact shape of one of my spoon dollies (auto body poundin iron tool, That I had origionally made from an old Chevy truck suspention leaf spring)
What would the best wheelbarrow in the county be without a fender? I thought.....
Then to attach it, I found some nice brackets I got from Boeing surplus years ago, at the same time I bought the fender aluminum.

Check it out!....It came out great!

So now the fender frapulation was done. I didn't think it was right to just put it all back together without some custom graphics. An Evil flame job came to mind along with a bunch of other ideas that thought were real cool....Ghouls, skull's, cretins or maybe just scallops or I could just paint it like it was on fire......(His big tow trembles and his hands are in the air clinching his fists like Bevis...."Ya FIRE,fire,FIRE")

And then "keep it simple stupid" came to mind and God-u-customcrazy-olak was set at bay.

Now with a clear mind it hit me! This barrow is for Heidi and it was supposed to have flowers in it! Flowers are cool, and so it will have cool flowers or something yard-ey,flower-ey, something gilry!

A couple of more hours at Home Depot and I finally found the paint department again.

with some tape-ditty, paint and fractulation.........

I painted one nice big yellow Kinda-flame-ey, flow-ey flower. It slides down the side and over the top into the inside of the pan, like it was plowed into by the barrow doing thirty miles per hour. Really cool!

It will be all striped in white (matching the handles) and it will have black outline in the center of the flower.....Just to set it off a bit. (he lifts his left hand in the air rubbing his fore finger and thumb together, looking very smug and confident)

With the flower drying I started to think **I couldn't believe I had made a fender for this baby without any thought of a mud guard**!!!! Jesus-Freekin-Christ!!! I was beside myself. I almost hurled at the sight of this naked fender now. It made me sick that I had not even thought of the simple functionality of it ALL!!!!!!!

This mud-flap injustice would not last for long! I got busy and made a cool one from a old piece of chrome I had laying around.

It came out sweet........and Heidi won't have to worry about getting mud on her feet when she does over thirty mph in this bad-boy. Whew! Glad that worry is over.

So ends part Three.................
