    hey if you weld a tab on each side of the front end and add brake cable adjusters,you should be able to run the cable through some spot on the spindle and make a pull-pull set up using bicycle brake cables,use your imagination and make it happen!!!!!

    Daddio 211 > saw that thing at the GNRS and what a piece its all really really flimsy plastic even the wheels the that was putting it together couldn't stop cursing it!

    Any way! I just bought me a shell on Egay and it should be on its way! Cant wait to get started on building a stroller out of it for my kid!! I will post pics of the one I purchased when it comes in the mail!

    Good to know James... for the price it should be all steel or at least good quality 'glass! You may have saved a HAMBer $300 plus shipping!

    Looks nice.
    I have the same car. I've been looking for new wheels and tires. Where did you get yours?

    Daddio211 > all good I was pretty disappointed with it when I saw it in person I was really poor quality. Even the tires were hard plastic!

    Here's the one I built for my daughter. she loves riding in it any chance she gets. She'll be a hot rodder for life. I fired up my chopper the other day and my wife said she was inside making the motor noise. she's hooked

    I always thought a copy of Granpa Munster's Dragula would be neat for a stroller-pedal car, but the coffin might be in bad taste for a little one.:D
