My 66 Mustang Junior taken though the drive thru at McDonalds by a neighbor kid. http://youtu.be/lxe39me1J1s One of his buddies was following and shooting this video so ignore some of the commentary. I tried to shoot some other video but it did not come out as good.
The pursuit plane is really nice, here is one I recently purchased that had been in a barn loft since the 50's
my current pedal car project. does anyone know some history on this thing? i know its a garton mark V. and it's from 65' and it's a fire truck. anybody know anything else? it just needs a little paint and some mild chopping.
Here is one I put together for my son that I "finished" an hour before leaving home for the Goodguys Southeastern Nationals in Charlotte, NC last weekend. It still has a few bugs to work out before next season, but he loves it !!!
Spencer T's lil push car. As built by his pop Tony, with a little help along the way. Geoff aka whodaky
Spencer's car is bitchin! What did you do for the front and rear axles? Sent from my DROID device using the TJJ mobile app
Thankyou daddio. Spencer T loves his little green hot rod. Tony made the front axle, working susspension and steering. I made the rear end. A pattern was carved from wood, then a mould made and the centre section was cast in resin. The axle housing are made from aluminium. Geoff aka whodaky
Thanks for the kind words Sgt. Grumpy. He did have a great time and now he can't wait to go to another hot rod show and "drive" his hot rod truck.

Im trying to get in contact Macomber Fiberglass Bodies re the Effie Body. Does anyone have a email contact Please.
I can tell you that its a wagon manufactured by GARTON. There's no mistaking those wheels and hubcaps.
Here's my X-15 Vrrooomm - Not a custom but definitely noteworthy. I spent most of the decade of the 60's in this thing terrorizing my sister. To this day I've yet to find anything that could corner like this.
While it might be a little OT you have to admit this guy has some real bodywork skills. His kid has to be the hit of the VW runs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbok_36pnFE Doc
here is another AUssie pedal car I been cutting up...... had to cut off the whole front and rear end to fab up steel to represent an EH Holden. 3 months work so far , hope to have it painted by end of this month.
The Hot Rod "Rat Family Vacation". "Chaz" I'm looking for 2 of those original Garton wheels and caps for this one. Don't really want to restore it (like it like it is) just want the original parts back on it.
