Bad A**. Someday I will attempt one of these. I just don't have the time to learn the skills of bending and brazing right now.

I wasn´t aware that the tires were rare - I bought them on some steel rims with black bolt on center hex.

That's coming along nicely. Eventually when I get around to planning out a FrankenBuggy based on a RWD-only Optima chassis, I will be toying with the idea of a partial tube frame. I doubt it would come out nearly as nice as this, though. 8)

Nice job!
Is the cage brazed together or bolted?
