    Living proof of what Illinois winters will bring out of a person. That's why I'm in Arkansas now!
    Neat stuff! The little one should enjoy it shortly!

    Here is my "Tot Rod". I built it about 12 years ago to drag my two girls to car shows and to haul parts to and from swap meets. I've put several miles on this thing at Charlotte Auto Fair alone!

    Those are all some awsome wagons guys, thanks for the ideas!!! I was out in the garage tonight striping the powder coating off the wagon and my wife got the bright idea that it needed a top. After being reluctant for awhile i finally gave in. I started by finding an ad for coker tires with their 32 in it. I studied the top and started bending up some round bar. Of course I ran out about 10 pm. after everything is closed and tomorrow is easter so I guess I will just wait till next week to finish the top framework but here is what I have so fat. It looks alittle goofy with no material on it but I streched black fleece over it as i added peices and i think it is going to look alright. I sure hope the kid fits, ha ha ha. Oh yeah, it is removable!!!!

  9. Your wife is brilliant. Nothing shortens up a day like a sun burned baby. The kid will be cool while kool. Good job. I suggest a child seat stripped down to look like a bomber. :D

    Aaron didnt try to talk you into bubble-topping it?

    I am planning on having an interior shop do a tuck and roll seat and some carpet for it since there isnt alot of room under the lid. It wouldnt surprise me if Aaron hasnt been eyeing the security camera bubbles at the local walmart trying to figure out how to get one without being filmed!!!
