If I can come back as a 3 year old in Heaven, these would be my toys:

well......... I've been pretty busy striping bicycles, and making trophies, and most importantly learning to be a dad :shock:

I have the pedal car taken down to bare metal, and ready for paint, but while I was away I did have time to trick out Izzies' jogging stroller 8)

I took the black tires off and swapped them for some new whitewalls, and threw some lines on it, in two shades of blue.... now it's ready!

Image

just about ready to get the pedal car back on track!
see you soon!

got a few hours of work in on the stroller car today :mrgreen:

one of my neighbors just installed "pergo" flooring, so I grabbed a few small pieces to use as pinstripe pannels......
but I had an even better idea!
Image

I remembered this pedal car is actually a pedal truck......
so........
Image

used some scrap steel and a cheap MTB neck......

some 1" chrome tubing.......

a pair of mini apes......... 8)

Image
Image
Image

oh yea...... the car is bare metal now, waiting for better weather to paint it (way too hot right now @ 105+deg :shock: )
Image

moving on to the shifter.....
some solid rod, and a threaded coupler should work!

Image

still looking for the right shifter knob, so for now I'll use Franklin :mrgreen:

Image

so here's how she sits now!
waiting to figure out the seat and upholstery.
and a carpet kit (and gas/brake/clutch pedals :wink: )
then paint and stripes!
oh! gotta figure out a canopy top for shade too!

I was thinking about it.....

still allot of work to be done.

been pretty busy striping bikes for other riders to be ready for July's shows, but I'm about to have some more time on my hands to finish up this project and get started on the next one 8)
