The Pedal Car, Wagon & Wheel Barrow Build Off

[KJV]

Is it just me, or does the wagon look really small?

looks just right.

More mockup effort today...maybe a few steampunk details. Need to come up with some grill work for front. It's all an illusion anyway.

Grill work you say ? How's. About cutting out the front or rather the true bottom of that small wheelbarrow tub and ad some metal to the inside to replicate a grill ? Possibly a old grill off a Webber bbq...? Or mesh , ther is a certain type of metal that is common to bbq..grills but I can't think of the name rite now

@MazdaFlyer,
looking good.
Maybe: pitch fork,, grill.

And thinking of this for the bed, instead of the wagon.

The box makes sense...you ought to use it.

I remember I had a pair of lights that I had converted to LED. I tried them on for size...maybe. I'd need to redo the wiring, battery pack would work in tackle box. Probably won't be pulling this around much at night though.

The one on eBay is $100, I started working on a replica today using pallet wood.

@Falstaff , love the crate! Doesn't get much more vintage and rat-isfying than that....wood on a rat rod bike. Priceless.

Hmmmm. With all the elect-rat-ification going on around here lately, I see an electric motor and a steering system on that bad boy soon enough.

And here I was thinking of building a Flathead V8, with Offey heads.

10 days in on a 3 month build...
We got one done and another one going over the top! I'm still rounding up parts... fun to watch though.

I'd love to see someone pull out one of those Visible V8 models for their motor.

That's an awesome idea, I think I have some of those at work. Could be a good mod to attempt.

That would be cool. There are a lot of kits on eBay, various types and prices. If you already have one then it's almost a given. Not sure what 1/4 scale works out to in size though. I've never seen a wagon/pedal car Build with one. Nice one posted below.

Lots of work left on the Wagonator. Thinking I will take the pan off and give it a BLO treatment. The paint residue seems to have a gold tint to it. Not sure that Radio Flyer ever did any gold or bronze colored wagons. The white RF trademark graphics still show.
If the pan comes off I might be tempted to paint the rails orange...any input out there?

I kinda like the rails as they are.
