    Nice build and excellent re-purposing, Jere! I also hear you about the depression era mindset! Reminded me of my "Hemi-Hauler" I made a couple hundred years ago out of an old bed frame and other scraps. I did a lot of brakes and front end stuff over those years plus Lots of motorcycle work and got tired of being on my knees. A thought for your cover is re-purposing an old car seat covering, the woven nylon type, hold up better than naughahyde/vinyl. I used that on my Hemi-Hauler seat and it's still on there, surviving screwdrivers, chemicals, my big'o bum (6'6" 250) and the kids riding it down the driveway...still have it. Wish they had Inline skates back then...nothing more irritating than getting caught on a crack or pebble while trying to hold 50lbs or more with one hand! ~¿@ Thanks for the share and memories! ~PJ
