So last September I started working on a stroller for the kid, It took forever to finish just because of the amount of time I spent at work per week over the last two years. But I got it done in time for Ford Carlisle and York NSRA.

Here is the end result. I will post a few pictures later today after work if I dont forget....

The front half is a summit pedal car the frame, steering, spindles and back was made by me.

Found a spare right rear brake caliper to get rebuilt for a 79 lincoln mark v 9 inch I'll have to see what I finished the thread with before my sabbatical from the site.
 
Cool Dad of the year award goes to...
 
Originally I was gonna do a wagon with the cozy coupe body and so a T bucket style but I didn't like that, my buddy had what was left of a pedal car I figured it would be better to do that instead and it spiraled into much larger and more involved project....

The steering was a bit of a pain to get it to articulate consistently.

I wanted to keep the fenders and steps so I made extensions for the side and step.

It moves side to side and front and back.

Found a cool shifter on ebay from a Pa car club blue moon cruisers.

Lots of work went into it for the limited time I had and I learned alot from my buddy who had worked in the hotrod world for about 30 years.
