Re: The Wagon and Pedal Car thread.
 

Did everyone give up on their projects? Would like to see more.

Re: The Wagon and Pedal Car thread.
 

Here's a wagon I just did.

Apperantly I'm the only one who goes on this thread now.:lol:

Re: The Wagon and Pedal Car thread.
 

Looking good bud how did you mount the kart wheels and tires to the wagon?

Re: The Wagon and Pedal Car thread.
 

5/8ths hot rolled round stock. Drill the holes in the factory running gear oversized. Measure for the correct axle length and have the ends threaded. Mount the wheels on racing kart 5/8ths hubs. I get mine from BMI Karting online. Use aluminum tube to cover the steel axle and to also act as spacers so there is no lateral movement in the wheels. Polish the aluminum so it has a mirror finish.

For a nut to secure the wheels to the axle I use a zinc plated acorn nut. This style of wagon is far cheaper to produce than the one I built in previous posts on this thread since I used factory running gear. I custom built the frame and steering for the other wagon.

Also make sure your overall tire height isn't more than 10 inches. Otherwise taller tires will bite the tub if you turn to far.

This is a old thread but I just got my grandson this kit. I going to match it to the full size 56.

I plan to buy a old body and build another one though to hot rod it up some.

Here is the kit from Speedway motors. I pick up a set of used go kart wheels &tires tomorrow for the other one I plan to build. I have to clean them up and polish them but for $30.00 I can handle that.:chevy:

Re: The Wagon and Pedal Car thread.
 

Going to do one like this I think too.
The last picture is what I really want to build!:chevy:

Re: The Wagon and Pedal Car thread.
 

I think he like it.

Now to get it painted to match the real one.:chevy:

Re: The Wagon and Pedal Car thread.
 

Wow ,he has really grown ,cute little car guy.

Re: The Wagon and Pedal Car thread.
 

Yep he is growing like crazy has 2 teeth already coming in.:chevy:

Re: The Wagon and Pedal Car thread.
 

I picked this one up today for $80.00. He was asking $120.00. I drove 2 hrs to get it.
Got plans for this one. :chevy:

Re: The Wagon and Pedal Car thread.
 

I dropped the 55 off at the painters today. About 3 weeks he said.

I also did some work on the other one.:chevy:

Re: The Wagon and Pedal Car thread.
 

Im liking where this is going .

Re: The Wagon and Pedal Car thread.
 

Thanks,

I'm going to convert it over to a stroller for him. Next summer I plan to have him with me at all the car shows!:metal:

Re: The Wagon and Pedal Car thread.
 

I hope to pick it up this coming weekend.:chevy:

Re: The Wagon and Pedal Car thread.
 

Looking good .

Re: The Wagon and Pedal Car thread.
 

Some more. He cut it and polished it today.


He got the decals also. I go get it tomorrow night.:metal:

Re: The Wagon and Pedal Car thread.
 

My wagon doesn't really fit into the same category.......I guess it was my dad and grandfather's project a long time ago though.......but I won't be altering it.

The hardware and 3 of the wheels are original, the 4th wheel was copied from the original 3 by an Amish wheel maker near Washington IN. The hardware was in my Great grandfather's stuff when they moved him from Chillicothe Texas to Illinois in the early 70's so grandpa recreated the wood from pictures he found. (long before the internet existed to find such things!)

BTW, yes, I do believe it was supposed to be a "Studebaker" wagon but the r apparently broke off at some point.........but I could be wrong. ????????

Anyway........I thought some of you might get a kick out of it anyway.

Re: The Wagon and Pedal Car thread.
 

Awesome man! You have every right to be proud! It belongs as much as anybodies does.:chevy:

Re: The Wagon and Pedal Car thread.
 

Like I need another project, but I have some granddaughters who need a cool ride:):):)

Mocked it up today for measurements. Going to be using the "drivetrain" from a Cruzin Cooler.

Re: The Wagon and Pedal Car thread.

That's going to be a nice ride sir.:chevy:
