    Paint is coming along grill just needs the rim around the outside painted. Were trying to get all the paint don't tonight so it will a solid day to dry and cure before the back y starts scratching it all back off lol.

    Then the seat cushions did the seat bottom tonight and tomorrow I will finish up the backrest cushion and its done.

    Also notice how serious the wife is painting on the spare tire. She'd be pissed if she knew I posted it but I wanted to give you guys a glimpse of the perfectionist I have to deal with haha.

    Here's the wagon with the new cooler mount. My son will be cruising around Good Guys in it this weekend and can hand dad and mom drinks.

    Hey all, I have been busy lately and have been forgetting to add some pics to this.

    Here is my sons wagon that is nearly finished. It started life as an old 50's Murray wagon. Obviously, the shape and lines are different from the regular Radio Flyers. In the pics the rope that will be mounted inside the wagon is just laying in there, like I said its not entirely finished just yet. But you get the idea hopefully.

    Hope everyone likes it!! Cheers!! [​IMG]

    Wondering if anyone has converted pedal car to battery operated. Would like to convert my grandsons 36 Ford. But really unsure of what motor relays etc. to use. Was thinking of getting old handicap scooter and using parts from it.

    My dad built this for me when I was a kid. I'd guess this was sometime in 1978.

    I would love to see some more info on steering, I'm sure others would like some info as well, as in, parts, If it has to be welded or not and maybe a parts list, I know some people don't want to give that info out, but if someone were that would be amazing

    Thought I would share some pictures of a 1963 Thunderbird JR electric powered promotional car that has been hiding in a basement the last 12 years or so.

    Here's a happi time racer wagon I found on the curb on my way home from work. I took it apart before taking a before pic but the top pic is it before. The bottom is after being restored and the black and white photo is the only old school pic I could find of this model with a similar side decal.

    Updated pics of pinstripping I had done at Goodguys Columbus by Killer Designs by Darin.

    Some have matching fake patina. Too much fun to build, to much time to build too.

    Lot of work into this. I don't know who built it. I took this photo at SoCal Phoenix a couple of years ago.
