T-Bucket swap meet, parts cart build

I thought some of you would enjoy this.
I had one of those little garden carts, with the 4" rims.
But at the last swap meet I went to,
I noticed it could be a little bigger
with wheels that rolled a little easier.
So I made the frame out of 1 1/2" box tubing.
got 2 wheelbarrow wheels from TSC for the front.
2 low profile rims and tires, That a kid
left at the shop last year.
And started framing out the body today, Out of conduit.
Tomorrow, I will sheet metal the sides,
And put expanded metal in the bottom.

Got a car show/ swap meet next weekend in Moultrie GA
So it will be done and painted by then.

I finished framing out the body today.
Put expanded metal in the bottom.
And covered the outside with some
ductwork tin.
The painter next door, Offered to paint it.

It rolls with ease.

Did some work on my parts cart today,
Got the frame painted gloss black.
Laid out some old school flames,
And my friend Phil Shot some paint to it.

I finished my cart for the swap meet!!!
There are a few detain items left.
But this is pretty much how it's going to look.

Cool swap meet hauler....

 

That looks too good to not have a motor on it. I bet some kids would like to drive it!

 

Thanks, Maybe the next one will be full sized.

I was thinking of turning it into a go-cart, Later on.
But one guy made the comment,
"Scavenging in style "

Spike

 

That turned out great!!

 

Thanks! I enjoyed building it.

Here are some finishing touches.
-Wrapped the tub with self adhesive pipe insulation.
-And some stick-on lettering for the back.
