Ok, put a coat of red paint on it last weekend. here's two shots:

Just gotta get a top on it.

all in all, it was a worthwhile project. i definitely learned that all plans go to hell once you start welding---well, things did not go perfectly as planned once I got the wheels on

after i painted it, i sorta had "painter's remorse" the next day. that is to say, there was something cool and kind of rustic (maybe thats not the right word) about something that obviously looked like I chopped up scrap, welded it together, and stuck some wheels on it!
