Great eye!

The seat is the only part not from the kit.

My goal is to use only kit supplied parts.

Working on the Fruitwagon next and then the pile of leftover parts.

Many of the speedsters of the 1920's were a mashup of leftover pieces and parts from cars literally left along country roads were abandoned by their owners when they could not afford to repair them during the great depression.Local guys would tow them home and cherry pick the salvageable parts to build  speedsters.That naturally lead to racing those cars with the winner often times determined by whose car ran the longest.

Very cool and resourceful. If I may offer this... I think some basic plug wiring and maybe dulling down that tank would greatly add to the overall look. Nice job.
