Hot rod baby strollers??

Has anyone built one? A buddy is having a baby in the Spring. Thought I might build him one. it would have to be steerable from the rear, enough room for a baby to say a 2 yr old and look traditional...

thoughts??

 

Larry Grobe built a couple bad ass vintage ones. They were both done in green metalflake and white vinyl. It has popped up on here before, but I'm not sure how to find where it was. Maybe cyclebilly, hellfish or magnet knows or has some pics.

 

I'd really like to see those... thanks!

Here is one that my friend built for his daughter a while back. has air ride with manual valves.....

 

heres one i built for my kid back in the day ....( in 97...) if ya build one ....use a castor up front.... brandon

 

Here's one I'm building for my 11 month old son. I found the body on ebay for 20 bux, bought some 1/2' square and round tubing at the hardware store, some small rod ends, spent a couple lunch hours at work building the frame. I maybe have 50 bux in it. A swan neck 39 ford shift lever will come through the grill for a pull handle. A buddy is striping it right now, I 'll show some pix when it's done, still gotta build the inner pan and do some interior. The paint stays as is.

The last picture says it all!

The 'Dude Wagon' PERFECT!

 

I've got nearly the same body. I can't seem to find any pedal car wheels anywhere though. Most wheels are too wide or just don't look right.

 

Check these out. They were built by Cory Harder

Thats a cute kid!!

Here's mine. It converts to a pedal car also.

 

hey brandon do you have a beter pic of the wheels??? or where did you get them???

 

its an old Thistle (more pic in my profile - could be hand built easily)

 

heres mine it is painted and out getting upholstery right now will up date later. used a swival caster in front it works the best. i used a 1937 garmen pedal car that was rotted beyond repair ,for the general shape. i used my amagination from there!!!

 

I built this one for my daughter a few years back. It’s amazing how much attention these strollers get.

 

Five grands have rode in this one

 

Built this one for my son five years ago. He's outgrown it now and I sure miss cruisin the sidewalks with him in it. He got more attention than I ever got in a real car which was just fine with me.

It steered from a T handle in the rear that you can't see in the pic.

 

Something I screwed together for my son. Now he barely fits in it.

 

My Daughter"s car.

 

this was from viva in 07 i think

 

If you ask me those kids are a bunch of gold pacifiers


Just kidding

 

Here what I made.I got the body off clist and made a frame and front drop axle.It could be rear steer with a hidden caster under the front.

 

It's been awhile since the last post so I thought I would add this. I just became a grandfather in June and had plans for this 1/3 scale Willys P/U as a RC model well now I'm going to make a stroller out of it until my grandson is too big for it. Eddie Sanzo was a friend of mine back when he raced his Willys P/U.
