    Here are a few pics of my daughter Micah's first hot rod. It's a stroller my dad and I built for her. The entire car is built from scratch. I made the body in fiberglass I laid over a mold I carved out in foam. The frame and all the steering components were machined out of aluminum by my dad. He also machined the steering wheel on the back which turns the front wheels. I stitched up the seat and door panels in vinyl. The only thing bought were the wheels. We took her to a few shows in it and the response we received was overwhelming. She loves riding around in it and waving at everyone. I thought I would post a few pics. Let me know what you think.

    Scroll down for better pics. These are small

    Here's the steering wheel my dad machined and the rest of the steering. The shaft has a quick release pin to detach it for hauling. Everything is now polished and the pvc on the rear was replaced with aluminum.
