Howdy Yall,
Haven't posted here since before the last couple of site face lifts,

I am currently looking to design a fly-ish bumpin new clown ride.

My first idea was a cushman three wheeler as the base,
but I have found another company (bajajusa) that makes a better than decent three-wheeler and has a local dealership, that I'm probably going to go through instead.

Here's the thing,
I know nothing about designing new bits of car out of fiberglass.
Has anyone here had any experience with this?

And on a side note,
what does your clown drive/ride?

Looking forward to hearing from yal
Soggy

I'm a tramp. Trains are preferred followed by the backs of trucks. Pig haulers would be the least fave.
I haven't given a lot of thought about it. But what would be a great clown car for my character would be a jalopy model T Ford... George "Perky " Perkins used to have a great routine with a Model T that drove itself. It could be cool for a tramp to have a rickety car with a mind of its own.
That's a mighty expensive prop though.

Have you thought of using a cycle made up to look like a shetland pony, donkey, horse or cow?

yes i have ive also thought about just making it so i can just walk with it cause some of the places i work are dirt or grass and it would be easier to control.

Mr. B

How about a giant hobby horse (Pony on a stick)? Or use a flat broom with the bristle end for the head?
