Here is my build thread by request.
I wanted to start off by saying after posting 3 other build threads that I understand that there are some that think something like this is impractical. I also am aware that the sight of this type of Novelty Rig tends to offend people as well.
To help eliminate a few pages of the usual questions and statements pertaining to:
It is too clean you need to get it dirty.
Why would you build a Rig for street use only?
It’s too tall and it will flop over.
I hope this explanation helps:
The build was started to give me something to do as rehab because I had experienced an extreme heath crisis 12 years ago. I’m able to go over to my shop and putter around a few hours a day to work on the Rig. I did enjoy doing many things that I’m no longer able to do any more and one of them was wheeling. It took awhile to come to terms with this and I am happy to just be able to build something.
Now if you don’t focus so much on the shiny and purdy stuff. You will notice that I have fabbed quite a few parts for the build and the motor. I also will show in detail how to make and use the some of the parts.
There will also be times that I will share tips and tricks on several things on the Zooks as well. Please be patient and give it some time and you will probably enjoy the build. As I mentioned earlier I have 3 other build threads and they all start off a bit odd but they seem to appreciate the material more and more.
Thanks
On with the build. I will start with the before and in process pics being the Rig is still being built.
