Thanks for the compliments guys! Your help here is greatly appreciated.
I will hide the battery in a faux oil tank on the seat tube (almost done).
Here's a little more info about the bike. I started with a Worksman bike frame, which has a reputation for durability and a 500 lb capacity rating. I replaced the three center tubes with 12 gauge chrome-moly tubing that I bent with a harbor freight pipe bender. Here's a pic of the frame and "jig".
The wheel hubs are from an old Puch moped and are laced with 11g spokes and heavy steel rims from Husky. The tank is from an oxygen cylinder, cut lengthwise and widened.
I made the seat pan from fiberglass and covered with leather from Tandy (I was almost in over my head on that little project).
