Made the inner fender covers. They're a bit bigger so we can be sure that Dan can't get his fingers caught in the wheel.
Got it all fit up to the rest of the fender just to see how it was all going to work.
Getting the holes for the axle to align was a bit of a challenge...
Bought some thing plastic sheet off of ebay to extend the outside and top of the fenders. Cut it out and bent it up.
Removed the outer cover to punch a few more holes in the back,
and put it all together.
Back to some more framework- finishing up a few of the modifications. Cut a couple of chunks out of a lawnmower handlebar, welded them together, cut 'em down, and tacked them into place. This is the bar that their basket will mount to so they can carry misc. junk.
I've been going back and forth about how to do this next part for at least a month. It's go time. I decided to just use a standard bicycle head tube and handlebars for a couple of reasons- 1st, its pretty much built, and 2nd, it's very easy to adjust or change styles of handle bars. Simple is nice. Now the chariot can double as an ultra cool stroller!
Still have lots of cleanup to do, but you get the idea.
Even managed to start on the fender mounting brackets.
Once I get the axle in, I can match the holes I made in the fender, drill the brackets, bolt the fender on, and figure out where the upper bracket needs to go.
Getting closer... My list is getting shorter.
