proposal, tot rod
I'm about half settled in, after returning to my house in GA: having spent the last three years at Ft Carson in CO.
Went by the nearby scrap yard, looking at possible tot rod materials, for me and my nephew Toad.
I saw a narrowed Ford 9" with wheels and tires, REAL narrow, like for a slingshot dragster: $100. I'll think on it, what a radical start for a tot rod.
Meanwhile, I grabbed a little quad runner, $50, has everything I need for the suspension,. In fact, it's a complete quad minus carburetor..
Also grabbed a wheelbarrow with a flat tire, $10.
For the Missus, a pedal car body, very small, old and rusted, to make into a planter..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
