Default Barstool racer build

This is my barstool racer build. It all started as 30 feet of one inch round steel. Its got gold anodized billet aluminum hubs, one inch soild steel rear axle, go kart racing slicks all the way aroud cant remeber sizes right off. Going to run a 5 horse briggs and stratton. Gonna run a bowl style carb instead of the pulse jet carb that mounts on the tank. Gas tank will be a mini Coores light keg. Still need a hub for two piece racing sprocket, brake hub, disc, and caliper. Need to make handle bars and front and rear bumpers, wheelie bar, and maybe a wing on the back. Havent desided on paint. Any ideas on paint? Let me know what you guys think. Any suggestions will be considered and appreciated.

Looks cool so far. I'd be inclined to go with turf tires but I understand about using what's available.

I say clearcoat the bare steel.

Looks great. Can you use old beer taps for handle grips.

Spoiler would be cool, if... It doubled as a cooler mount.
