I thought I’d chosen a rusty looking color...and in another comment someone wanted me soil up the parrot [emoji3079] and remove its shine. Patina, patina, rust and aging overload, but I get it. That’s the rat rod way!
Not you also...parrots and macaws are beautiful birds. Maybe a little splat of parrot poop on the top bar. The parrot is a salty old bird with some pirate wear.The parrot would look good with some years on it.
Take it to Hobby Lobby and get some ideas. They have a lot of fake patina stuff to look at.
Looks pretty real doesn’t it. Great patina example. It was actually a ceramic sculpture in a Fine Arts Museum in Houston.“Leather Bag” good patina?

I would make a nice pannier but it would be hard to open the flap.Pannier? Cool.
(me after the Parrotheads read this)
Yes the basket would interfere with the tool pouch/bag. And with no shine it does sorta disappear depending on the angle of view. Thanks.
I’m somewhat in agreement with you. Thinking I need to come up with a quick release mount. Thanks.
More dissing the parrot [emoji3079]...would need two to do a good cage. I’m 50/50 at this point. Thanks.Not on this build. Maybe make a bird cage to hang in your shop out of the basket, and put the parrot in it?
It does seem to be proportionate with the rack and bike. Need to come up with an attachment method. Again I’m at 50/50. Thanks.
Thanks! Again I’m at 50/50. The bike had an old basket wired to the rack when I found it so adding the basket would replicate the starting point and come full circle. And it would be similar to my first Hammered Higgins Build with the cargo hold.
Thanks! Could haul rocks as well.The basket : Rocks
Yep! Still on the lookout for a stand.
All right props for the pirate parrot! And the basket.
