"It's just a cycle kart...". The phrase uttered over and over as I struggled with vinyl, batting, backing material, foam cushions, and metal snaps. I'd rather do ANYTHING else. HUGE thanks to my wife Linda. She's the seamstress in the family, and without her help, I couldn't do it.
It's not quite finished, as I decided to take it back out and remove some of the foam in the side panels to get it to lay better.
But you can see it didn't turn out too bad. Actually, it's probably as good as some of the real Millers I've seen in photos. I'm sure their attitude was "It's just a race car..."
So that's it. It's all done but some tuning and tinkering. I still need to align the front wheels. Then maybe I'll just sit around and polish it for a while.
