Guys,
Thanks for the positive comments.
FairRacing thanks for the threadlinks for the push trailer; thinking maybe constructing the trailer of rebar & metal mesh.
Adam the style is "Dream Junk".

Bare Bones,
Thanks for the props. I call the style DreamJunk; built from stuff lying around the garage.
Used metal yardsticks for the fender, conduit for the handlebar covers, solar light converted to lantern, drain strainers & paper clip dishes for rear hub caps, soup can for rear light, coffee can & drain strainers for rear tool compartment & copper tubing for the honeycomb tank, pedals & fake air pump and chicken wire overlay on the chainguard.

hey i think u should put the motor on the bike and the tool compartment turn that into the gas tank to keep that clean look
Mykustomcruizer,
I considered doing that, but decided not to because I wanted to power it with the HF 6.5hp. The bike is not set up to take on that kind of power and the tool compartment is not sealed or big enough to hold enough fuel.
The push trailer will eliminate those limitations and I can ride the bike without major mods to the bike.
Thanks for the input.
