broey 01-04-2012 10:48 PM

Re: The Wagon and Pedal Car thread.
 
Yeah, there isn't really and suspension though. its always slammed. it still rolls though. just scrapes on cracks, which is perfect.

Going to pick up a wagon that my granddad made for me close to 40 years ago. It's been in my uncles basement for years. I'll try to get a pic loaded tomorrow night.

The first wagon was stolen from my front yard. The second one is still in my living room and will hold the flat screen soon.

Last time I post pics of the wagon I promise!
Found these pics online from a car show. I think my wagon has been photographed more than my truck lol. We had a running joke at the last show that My wagon was a magic trick that made whatever it was in front on disappear!

Does anyone have a model 1800 Radio Flyer wagon? It is the one with the deep tub. I need a date of manufacture so I can order a new tub. I'm in the process of doing a regular Model 18 style but the wife doesn't like how low the sides are and is afraid the kids will fall out easier. So if anyone has a date of manufacture it would be of great help.

Heres what I started with and what it is so far. Those are the wheels and tires going on it underneith of it. I painted it '66 GM light green. I will be putting white and orange pinstriping on it as well.

Fresh stripes. :metal: I guess on the top pic you can barely see the stripes but they go around the radius. White on the inside and orange out. The orange ends above the striping on the back and it ends with flame licks facing each other.

Looks like a lot of fun. Great way to get the kids into wrenching/welding too. Mine kind of groan when Dad wants them to work in the garage - modifying something would probably get their attention.

My son is into trucks pretty big but he is only 4 and my daughter is only 2 so they don't get the concept of building stuff of this scale yet. I just wanted a wagon for the car shows so my kids feel special when they are getting pulled around in it. The wagon is far from done though, I have a few tricks up my sleeve still. I also need to get the chassis finished as well.

IIRC He bought it at a auto swapmeet. I have seen others made from same mold so somebody must be producing them.

I love that build.... awesome attention to detail.

Can you give us some specs on the suspension pieces used?

Re: The Wagon and Pedal Car thread.
 
Does anybody happen to have an extra metal steering wheel for a pedal car. I know there are new ones, but for the look I'm going for I need it to be a little rustic.

72BlckButy 04-07-2012 04:57 PM

Re: The Wagon and Pedal Car thread.
 
5150... keep an eye on Ebay, they pop up there every now and then.

What color wheel are you looking for?

And any pics of your project?

I've been making a pedal stroller for my little girl Lizzy. Flat pink, with a little fauxtina, kiddie grocery cart wheels. I need to lower the rear and still attach the push bar somehow.

I don't care about the color, I just don't want it to be new or chrome.

finally started working on my pedal car. all my time has been taken up by a mini chopper I made. Ill post pics of that later in the motorcycle thread or something. but for now.. decisions to be made.

gasser or slammed? I already have the slammed wagon, so I think ill go gasser, but not 100%
