Custom radio flyer wagon pics and ideas???

Here's one I just finished for my 10 month old son and the occasional swap meet. Needs a little fine tuning yet and I'm gonna just clear it to keep the patina. It's actually the wagon I had when I was a kid- early 80's probably. It's a Western Flyer Cheif, I can't find any other Cheifs anywhere though. I plan to make a seat out of an old metal 5 gallon bucket with strap to keep him in.

 

Mason's hot rod wagon as he calls it

 

SO many awesome wagons on here. Great job everyone!! Made me go out and get one since farm n fleet had em on sale. Took me about 45 min- hour and this is what I came up with but it all bolts on to the existing holes and nothing welded to the tub at all. I am 190lbs and stood in it and bounce up and down and she is solid! Thanks for the insperation!!
Its nothing special though. Just your basic wagon and some steel.

 

Did no one see the kid under the car in the first pic???????????????????

 

Yeah thats weired might loose a kid if they back up

 

LOL. I thought that was the shifter arm... Good eye...

 

hears my first try in progress

 

Thanks guys! Now I gotta get one of these! Been searching Craigslist for one for the past few hours.

 

When I built mine I just called RF and told them my sons was smashed and asked if I could buy a new tub. $35 shipped to my door. This great if you only need the tub and will be fabbing your own axles and handle.

alot of nice builds

 

Alot of places have them on sale for the holidays right now. I bought my classic radio flyer wagon with the metal wheels for around $58 and got her home and 45 mins later was done. Best way to go...

 

that looks very nice.... that chassis and wheel and tire combo looks great with that pan....

 

Started a new project tonight for my 6 mounth old.
The wagon belong to my wife when she was a kid.
The other picture a quick mock up just to give ma an idea what I am working with. The front wheels will be about a foot and half foward also I just love the look of wire wheels.

 

Here's a cool one I saw in Arizona and an old ad I saw on the net.

 

Now that is rad! One of my favs. Thanks for posting the pic.

 

Found this one in the trash and it was so rusted out and had some broken parts I anchored to the wall as a shlef.

 

X2 on the badassed !!

 

Here is one I built for a buddy. Frame is all aluminum and it's still not finished.



Yes it's stamped 32 rails.



Merry Christmas!!!

 

My daughter asked Santa to bring her a wagon for Christmas. So this is what Dad (Santa) built her in his shop to be delivered on Christmas eve right under the tree we cut down, with a permit, from the Colorado mountains.

 

best thread

 

heres a few more we built for the holidays

 

Hey, where did you find those wheels??

 

Some final shots............

 

very cool, far too much time on your hands

 

hows this for a wagon idea?

 

go big and then go even bigger!

 

We built this one for my grandson. He is just a year old. It was for his first birthday.

 

here is one i picked up at an antique store. all fixed back up and ready to serve me as a welding cart.

 

lets see more of that wagon and chassis....

looking great

 

Here's mine with a ghetto cooler mount. Handle extension is a VW bug shift rod. Won first place for custom wagon at a local show (probably because of the free beverages)
