Projects Kustom Pedal car for my Daughter's X-mas gift: More progress

Thanks Jim......I have to say that your build here had me thinking about this little car.................

 

looks great

 

Well, I decided to section this thing because I did not like the hood scoop and I began adding a cleaner look to the opening with some round stock. I have got more than this done but my camera died so I will try and get more tomorrow for those who are watching.

 

I liked the hood scoop, made it diferent than the later AMF car........Roach.

 

It still has a hood scoop but not as tall as the original and this allowed me to move the windshield forward 3 inches. I neded to move the opening in the front because of the rear wheel placement.

 

I done the same thing 50 years ago for my daughter. Good job. I wished I still had her peddle car.

 

Thing is pretty cool, I might do something to safety up the fins a bit. They look awful mean from where I am sitting. Your daughter is much too beautiful to take a chance.

 

GREAT PRESENT!!!your a cool dad.

 

Thinkin' the same thing. Semi-gloss black with red striping...

 

That thing is soo cool. She is going to love it.

 

Only a few days left. You gonna make it??

 

looks great, i bet she will hold onto it forever

 

That will be the coolest little red wagon on the block. You and your son are doing a great job!

 

That is the coolest little red wagon on the block. You and your son are doing a great job!

Some more updates. This is where we are at right now. Well I will post more later when I get back in from the shop.

 

3 more days..........I am getting ready to get back at this alone tonight. My son has homework and is going to be helping out momma wrap some gifts tonight for who I don't know........lol. Anyway wish me luck I may need it

Very cool!Any pics of the ch***is?

 

I am trying to get as much room in this as possible. With that being I think it will be ore of a unibody type car.....lol........but I am still thinking about it.

 

I thought I would post some pics of my little helper he is 9 yrs old and very excited to help out with this project being it is for his little sister.

 

The piece he is working on will be the main piece of the frame for this we ddecided that it should have something strong enough to mount the front end too. He drilled it out first then placed the nut (Lugnut) into the piece of rectangular stock and the he welded it in place. He was very very hapy that I let him do this stuff . It is something to see your kids getting bigger damn they grow up fast

 

started smoothing it down

 

I agree, that is too cool that he is helping! I can't wait until my girls are old enough to get in the garage with me,

 

The clock is ticking....

Good progress so far!

 

some shots of the ch***is....

 

Coolest stroller ever!!!
