Stroller for the kid

[Ramcharger90]

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.

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....

Then I just kept adding things...

Made the spindles out a bushings and 5/8 hitch pins.

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.

Then I just wanted to do more so I figured hey why not make a roadster..... lol

So rolled out the trunk lid first then I got to work the quarter panels on the english wheel... then beed roller for the belt line.

Then tacked it together a million times

Whats a hotrod without a cool shifter?
It moves side to side and front and back.

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

Made the handle to turn the front tires out of two torque wrench handles and 1 inch tube.

I hate bondo.....

then primer and paint.... yes I seem to always go with Rustoleum red and black....

Oh gave it an exhaust also...

Paint pens dont work very well for pin stripes btw...

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.
