3800 I present to you...the RatWagon!

[imported_GraFFix]

This was something ive been working on off and on for a while...Its basically a Chopped, lowered, streched radio flyer wagon. I tried to model it after a "Rat rod" And I think it came out pretty good. Its not 100% complete yet, Im still looking for the right seat for it and to do some pinstriping but for the most part its done. Just thought I would share.

This wagon is for Will...Stephs son and we will use it for when we go to car shows and stuff. I figured all the big boys can have modified toys why not the little guys.

Anyways here are some pics...

Ohh and before anyone asks..the front alignment issue has been taken care of...lol

Damn thats pimp, you should make a little wheel so the kid can steer.

I thought about it but in a public place such as a car show and in consideration of everyones ankles I think its best we do the sterring for now.

you could put a fake one on that doesnt do anything just for fun.

I think some flames would be badass.

Thats an idea about the sterring wheel...maybe I could find one of the old small sterring wheels they used to use in the hot rods...And I thougth of flames but im going for more of the old school look and will stick with pinstriping. something like this...not exatly like that but the same style...you get the picture

when i worked at the bike department at toys r us a couple years ago they had a wagon that the steering worked for both parents and kids. It had one detachable extention handle pole like it has now and the kids steering wheel so when he gets older its off he goes on his own(with someone pushing),but your still in control for now. Its one hell of steering system. They also had a rear handle steering design that was a litte shittier for like tricycles. but if you do it all now you wont have to mess with it ever again.
might be somthing you want to look into

its pretty nice so far,im sure he will love it.

I dreamed last night (Kinda rare for me) and your wagon was in my dream. I wont go into anymore details because the dream involved oars, basketballs, waterfalls, hot ladies, and a circle track, but yeah

that wagon is dream worthy

That's sweet. Could use some scallops, and a piston head shifter.

I agree on the scallops would be a perfect fit for the body lines, we were thinking of maybe doing red ones to match the wheels
