Pedal Car Bodys Where To Buy

im looking for a fier glass body to builod a push car out of it

 

speedway motors, ebay.

 

gene winfield does a nice merc body my boss is in the middle of one right now

 

I would be interrested by a merc body for my little boy ... do you have a pic of it ?

I know Gene don't have a site to see that product so your help will be very appreciate, thank you !

 

I found my body "used" at a swapmeet. It was one of the bodies that they list in the back of HotRod, etc... The company is called AeroFiberglass... It started life as a 36' Ford and I changed it to a 37' Ford. I built a 1" box tube chassis and used mini pnumatic cylinders for air-ride. Here are some pics... Paint is Viper yellow with butterscotch pearl. Pics were taken on a cloudy day, it really pops in the sun. I made the airlines disconnect under the rear of the body and the handle removable for easier transport and displaying at shows. Handle mounts look like tailpipes... Here's some pics of it. Daughter is almost 6 now and she still plays with it...

 

Got this from a local speed shop that needed money a few years back for my kid. Its a go kart- goes pretty fast too.



Heard the company that had been making the bodies didnt do it anymore but Ill keep my eyes out for ya.

 

get ahold of mike lightbourne on elpaso, (the guy who found the roth car) has has them made , several different styles

 

Anytime pedal cars come up, the Monster Gravity Racer is the vision that comes to mind.

I'd love to have one of these

 

this rules

 

I believe I had seen them in Jegs or Summit too

 

DAMN! I would seriously motorize that and run it myself!!!

 

what body style do ya want ? i have a few old 50's- 60's steel units in various conditions .. seing how yer gonna do sumtin like make a glass mold from it the conditin should not matter much


th kids are not interested in doing these for the grand kids so ..i could use the room
pm me

oh ya
them old reel type lawn mowers have neat push handles

they make spoked (like torque thrusts )wheels with tires for dollys from "Graingers"
catolog

sorry the weinermobile i must keep now!!!!

Can you buy those Tudor bodys or was that a one off??

 

Any idea where to get more information on this one? Other than it was for sale at one point:

here one i made for my daughter out of a speedway bought body

 

Here is one I built for my son 3 years ago...I got the body from aerofiberglass (now gone?), but I think poliform has this particular body now. I went way overboard on mine...tube chassis, quickchange rear, shocks, working lights all around, spreader bars, tuck 'n roll, drop axle...but is hands down the most rewarding thing I have ever built...

I just picked this one up for 30 bucks, where can I get a pedal chasis for it ?

Have you found something yet? I have this body and frame. The body is still gelcoat, no cracks. The frame is rusty, let me know.

Pedal cars don't have chassis, just a bolt in rear axle assembly and a bolt in front assembly with funky spindles and a steering link from the steering wheel that is just bent like an "el" and drops into a hole in the flat steel strap "tie rod"..

 

Why not make your own chassis if you want one?

 

I'm afraid if I start making one the hot rodder in me will take over and the next thing you know it'll be gas powerd doing wheelies or something..lol I've got to keep this on the simple pedal side of things for my 4 year old, I've already been looking at my old weedeater out there.

 

think real tall rear wheels about ( 8-10) so it will roll ez and pivot good when pushed or tipped for curb jumping

low in front is ok
but rear clearance will get ya thru the soft sand and such doing a wheelie..

 

Or put air ride on it like I did to my daughters Rides like a caddy on the stones. See above...

 

Jerry Dixie in Ohio has pedal cars too. Not sure but I think there is someone on the hamb here that has a pretty extensive collection from what I hear...

 

Thought I read somewhere on hear that this guy had over 300 pedal car's, but I can't really remember where I saw it.

 

I was thinking the same thing maybe that person will come forward and let us know who they are.

 

This is an AMF "Star front"

You could try these guys http://www.pedalcar.com/

Unless some guy has 300 or so lying around. But how would I ever know?
