pedal car-stroller build** FINISHED AT LAST!!!

[amaes]

This is a really cool build! Keep up the good work.

I was wondering where you all find peddle cars? I would really like to build one of these for my buddy that is going to be a dad soon.

Oh side note: I found this for anyone that loves VW buses. I was maybe going to buy one to make a wagon for an Ice chest and grillin' stuff

Pretty cool but a bit much for fiberglass, that's like $550 with the shipping. I have a '66 bus in the paint shop, it had those fender flares in the rear like on that fiberglass bus, I like the stock rear aprons a lot better though. Fender flares on buses were pretty popular in the 70s and 80s I guess, . Spent a considerable amount of time and money to go back to stock.




Good luck with it though, good idea, just too much moola for a kid project.

Cheap pedal car kit for $150 for your buddy/buddy's kid:

beats paying more than this for rusty crap on eBay.

Awesome work!

GREAT! Now all we need is that top you kept mentioning...I KNOW!

How about little retractable top? Like you see on the 1958 Fords? Little thin strips of chrome on the sides and portholes too!

I'm beginning to sound like Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor!

Nice looking stroller, but be careful, there was a worldwide reacall on this series of pedal cars due to lead paint.

Oh boo hoo! Kids survived for years with lead paint toys. Somehow out of the MILLIONS of toys, a couple kids ate a paint chip and got sick.

Of course, this is no longer a problem as the old paint is now dust in the wind.

Better not let the EPA see this post. They'll probably hit you with a fine for improper disposal of hazardous materials.

I promise, I won't eat the paint chips....
