very nice build. I love the wheels, they look a lot like the ones on my daily driver. any Ideas if those are homemade or readily available somewhere?

pretty cool. a little too much attention to detail with some bits imo, but to each his own.

Hoopty, that thing is looking sweet. I always wanted to learn how to build my own tubers, and maybe even bicycle one day.
