I think, all of you know Dave Marek `s Butcher Truck:  I liked from the beginning the great design and I thought, that I must implementing this one in some form, sometime... Recently I played around with a few parts. This came out:    The great ensemble playing of these parts, forced me to start this project. A small beginning:  |

Looks to be a great start on another neat project!!! Any progress on the wine wagon, or pie wagon? I'm assuming the little Triumph is for your bike hauler. Are we all going to have to come sit at your house until you get these other projects finished? ;D ;D ;D

Thank you for the kind words! ;D Yes, Rob, i know very well this great build!  ;D ;D Dave Marek `s drawing shows not everything from that perspective angle. How does the interior look like? Which seats, individual seats or a bench, steering, etc. In this picture, is also from the front, not very much to see. Maybe Dave Marek has very precise ideas about how everything should be structured...  So much is possible and I want to show yet another one, my version. More progress:      There is still much work to do ... I hope, you like it so far. |

That's got a real nice look going on, Bobby. I don't know what look Dave had in mind, but I can picture a few different options, from the standard bucket seats, to a more horsedrawn wagon-style bench, to really out there - a bunch of padded "sausages" to sit on.
How about a meat cleaver for a shifter?

Holy s#!t !!!! This already looks phenomenal. I actually thought of a bench seat and John G always has bugged me to draw the front view which I have agreed needs to be done.

Thank you very much for the kind words! I had put this project on the site, because I do not know then, how to proceed further.  The search for suitable parts or modifications, that have a major adverse reaction: It pulls those projects in the length... Seems very familiar... I changed the rear lower part, it was too small to accommodate a matching rear axle. In addition, there is now a recess to accommodate the lower part of the engine.  Instead of the rounded side area in the front, bottom, there is now a square cut-out.   Here, the new device is installed for the new seat. I have not yet decided, what kind of a...   This is the engine from the Chuck Wagon kit. The toothed belt and the exhaust will remain, the air scoop, probably not.  A small assembly.  Hope, you like it so far. |

Wow! Great start, Bobby. This was the Marek design I wanted to build most. I could never figure out the front of the roof. Looks like you got it sorted out nicely.
Keep going!!!!!!
Remember the Wine too!!!!!
