    That is so simple and easy! I should have used the '46 front axle I had that way!

    With any luck, Darwin'll get him.

    I can't beleive someone actually thinks that's gonna work for more than 30 feet or 1 pothole.

    and it's official, I hate square tube frames. up front at least.

    That's really cool, you could run the wiring for the front headlights right through the hairpins!

    Damn, someonle stole my idea for a front suspension.

    Except instead of running the wiring for the lights, I was gonna drill and grind
    holes like a pipe organ so when I drive the car whistles.

    Beauty of that idea is that there are already holes drilled in the axle to mount your headlights! That is so freakin cool!

    It makes for fantastical wheelies with the splended lightweightedness.

    Im going to Home depot to get some supplies tomorrow. Then Im going to shoot myself in the face. It'll just be quicker, and make less mess I thinks.

    I'm thinking that it may just be an attempt to get the rig on four wheels so it will roll. They usually sell faster when they roll. On the other hand, he could be going for the coveted "Micky Mouse Jury Rig Artist of the Year" award! Ask the seller a question and find out.

    Well at least he's honest in his disclaimer about it not being street legal, although it dosn't mention being unsafe.
     
  24. That is possibly the stupidest most ****ed up front, rear or any other suspension that I have ever seen. I wouldn't put that suspension on a Radio Flyer wagon.
