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

I decided that I would take a P.O.S pedal car and turn it into a kustom little wagon for my daughter being this is her first Christmas and she is only 4 months old I want to do***ent this for her. Plus my oldest son who is 9 yrs. old asked me if I could put this on here because he is also helping to get this done before the 25th. anyway this is where we are at so far. I will try to post as the progress takes place.

 

Now that is Efing kool!!!

 

Looks good, got 10 days to finish it up, or 375 depending how you look at it.

 

Koolio, I could see the Batmobile there if there was a dip in the middle of the windshield.

 

Man, that is veerrryyyy cool. Good job dad.

Doc.

 

That's a sweet little wagon! Great job, and it's really cool that your son's helping too!

 

This is my little hot rod girl........

 

Well I had a little time tonight to work on this and I have the main concept of this side done I decided to add a skirt that I think helps it flow a little better.

 

Looking good!

 

Thanks I appreciate the kind words. Please be sure to check in because we are trying to get this done and will be posting the pics of it finished.

 

Thank you and you made my sons day with this comment.

 

"Good one DAD thanks". That's what she is going to say in about 2 years.

 

Great idea, Just keep in mind the sharp edges with the little ones. Those fins look dangerous!

 

Great job & probably a fun project.

 

Yeah, I am aware of sharp edges. This is why when this one is finished it will be smooth and painted and the fins are actually going to be rounded off and the taliights are not in it yet either. I think this is why it looks sharper than it is.

Also I have 6 children 2 girls and 4 boys ranging from 14 my oldest girl and the 9,7,5,3 are the boys age and then the baby girl who will be recieving this car. But what I am getting at here is I do a lot of Metal sculpture and my children are around it constantly so therefore they have developed a respect for all things sharp and metal. It is apart of their enviroment but my wife and I are costantly letting them know the dangers as well as being a little over protective with them.

 

This is a sketch as to what I hope it will look like..........

 

Very cool project. And by including your kids your talent will be p***ed on to the next generation in one form or another.

BTW, I love the skirts!

 

Sick, what a cool ride. I built 2 strollers out of red wagons but I will build the next one out of a pedal car.

 

Wicked cool, she'll love it, what a good dad you are.

 

I have three sons myself, the youngest is 25. Plus a couple of grandsons. No girls in the bunch. We've had a broken arm, broken leg, broken collar bone, and too many s****s and scars to mention. I guess with all those children you have it covered. I didn't mean to be critical, just safety conscious.

 

No problem. I am hoping we do not have any major stuff happen but you can only hope and try and keep a watchful eye on them....lol.....

 

Thanks everyone. Nads I might bring this down to the Billetproof show this year if I have room.

 

Hey Joe looks CQQL man...All the best to you and your family pal for the festive season..See you next July....

 

That is cool! Youre an AWESOME Dad. Sir I salute you.
At least she wont wanna borrow yours for a while now.

An incredible-looking project thusfar !!

 

I love it, when are you going to build a full scale version?!

 

Very cool!
