Sorry to choose this forum section. It seems like we have a lot of pedal car chatter on here but no dedicated place. Apologies for a four wheel thread.

The So- Cal Speed Shop "Belly Tanker," is one of the most iconic hotrods ever built (And I am a person who thinks "Iconic" is over used). I thought what a cool pedal car project that would make. A quick Google search verified the deed had already been done, (Well at least they got close).

Here is a brief ad about the pedal car The kind of close pedal car

Here is a article about the actual historic racer The "Belly Tanker"

Searched for a pedal car thread... Beautiful Belly Tanker.

Saw this Mattel Vrroom X-15 Pedal Trike and got that feeling...

So cool.

I enjoy restoration videos and was curious how the Mattel Vrroom X-15 is made. Even the wheels look like landing gear.

Would be cool to make a full adult version!

I remember riding one as a kid. that rear steering can get away from you at speed and dump you pretty quick!
