Custom radio flyer wagon pics and ideas???

I need some pictures or some websites that sell parts for radio flyers. I am lowering my boys wagon, and I am trying to figure out what to do for the front end. Maybe gokart front end or step notch, I don't know. Maybe you guys have some pointers. Plus I just want to see some kool wagons.

 

I built a square tube frame for mine. Made a dropped axle from 3/4 inch black pipe. Made up spindles, kingpins, steering arms etc.

Hardest part was getting the pull handle and steer pivot combo.

Sorry but no pics.

I'm making a wagon out of an old pedal car for my little guy. I basically just cut the seat section out and made a frame out of 1/2 square tubing after I got the ride height I wanted. For the steering I made some mini spindles and mounted them to a 1/2 round axle tube. The clevises you see in the pict control the steering, but one actually comes through the front grill now, to attach to the pull handle. Sorry I don't have any current pix, but I'm still working on it. I will eventually form a sheet metal pan for the inside to cover the rear wheels, etc, then maybe some tuck and roll interior. Who knows! Hope this helps.

I will second that!

 

That really makes me want to figure a way to attach a handle to mine for my own baby's momma's little monster.

man that thing is bitchin! my kid would love something like that. i have a pedal car that ineed to do some mods to for sure!

 

Nashman, where are the pedals?
Nice going, you've made the rest of us look like inadequate parents.

 

No pedals! It's gonna be a wagon, the handle comes through the front grill.

Thanks for the words fellas!

 

Dude...your kid is going to rule the neighborhood.

Who needs pedals..just sit at the end of the driveway, cowboy boots on, cap gun in one hand and a root beer in the other. Chicks will dig it.

 

Nashman, Your Little Guy is going to be the envy of all the kids in the neighborhood ! That will be one mean machine !

To kool Nashman. Anybody with any more pictures?

 

Here's my pedal car, made in Soviet Union 25+ years ago and gone through demolition derby by evil kids... Waiting for some kustom treatment...

 

I did that but the police insisted that I put on some pants.

 

nice wagons. I dig the pedal cars also.

 

I know this is an older post, but i just wanted to post my Radio Flyer wagons.
I think I am the onley one in the Netherlands how ownes customized wagons.

 

Any more pics of the front and and steering on your dropped wagon? It looks nice.

 

A friend of mine built this one

 

I will make some pics tomorrow

 

That is one bad Wagon! your kid must be stoked!

 

Here's a couple pics of one that my wife bought at Camp Courageous auction a few years ago.Kind of hard to see but the fenders,running boards,and gas tank are all metal welded to the body.It has a full perimeter frame and steering although the steering needs a bit of work.Color is Candy Tangerine with gold flames.I talked to the guy who built it and he said he had about 80 hours into it and I can believe him. The work is great.

 

Here is what my grand kids cruse the hood in

 

there's a radio flyer wagon down the street that was grafted to the front half of a tricycle, roadster pickup style. It's great! I'd steal it if they wouldn't see me riding it...

 

Heres a couple kiddie haulers from my collection..... The wagon decals and parts are available from speedway motors (their pedal car catalog)

 

I left the patina on mine

 

here are the pics of the sterring, i also changed the towhandle today because the chrome one was to heavy.

 

I made this for my son, I am afraid he is still a bit too young to appreciate it. I hope he likes it when he gets a bit older.

 

Here you go. This probably what your son really wants. Tom - restorit
