    I built this wagon for a Friend's 9 month old Son (Lincoln) and got a 10 lb ball of "Silly Putty" in return. Yes, Im serious! A kid with a cool name like Lincoln deserves a cool ride. Ill do the upholstery tomorrow so he will have it for Xmas. Had a great time building it out of junk laying around the shop, total cost: nada. Having a huge ball of "Silly Putty" to play with, priceless.

    Any ideas on stuff to do with the "Silly Putty", other than the obvious.

    You could always wrap the silly putty around you beer to keep it cold. :D

    If you get hungry, i hear silly putty is edible.

    make a flatish leather bag for it, and use it in conjunction with a shotbag to make some body panels.

    Hell of a present and great way to introduce a new "gearhead' to the hobby he will love the pics and hopefully still has the wagon when he starts buildin his first car.

    Cool Wagon, I'd bet that the little guy will enjoy cruising in that. I have a narrowed axle off an old dragster that needs to go on some project like that.



    The silly putty will work to check clearances between things like door jambs.
    Or you can start a silly putty art thread and see what hotrod related items guys can create out of their own silly putty. But you would have to post your effort first.

    make dental impressions, jk -
    Great trade, he will have that wagon for long time and you will have that putty for a long time too. Build a nice gl*** case for the putty and get a br*** tag engraved for it with the date and the deal.

    Throw it off a building, the stuff will shatter like gl***. Even though it's very pliable by hand, it can't absorb sudden impacts rapidly. Google it, I saw a high school do this as an experiment somewhere on the web. It was cool.
