Yup, there isn't much value in these things honestly. I have a super rare wagon (1970's AMF California Van), tried selling it for $200 and haven't had a single offer on it. I follow a bunch of the vintage wagon pages on facebook and not much interest from people on buying old wagons for anything over $50.

The second wagon I have to build is for my 2 month old niece. I had originally bought this wagon with hopes of restoring it back to original. However, once my brother in law caught wind that I was trying to sell it, he jumped on the chance to buy it and have me build something cool. The wagon by it's self stands out as it's not one you see everyday. The fact that this one is going to be powder coated and hydro dipped, will really set it off. I am taking the wagon and all its components to the powder coater tomorrow, so they can get started on it. 1950's Radio Rancher http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/00b0b_ea6NBpEgeE7_600x450_zps49c39812.jpg Got it up on the work bench to be torn apart and to decide a color scheme http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10712759_10152808241231907_6989848389153811167_n_zpsc315873c.jpg Got it all torn apart and ready for the powder coater. One strange thing with this wagon was instead of round nuts holding the bolts on, this had square nuts. It took a little more work to get this wagon torn apart, but it's apart http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/1958582_10152808241266907_5783949814445619937_n_zpsde7550cd.jpg

Well it has been a couple months since I last built a wagon and honestly I didn't expect to build anymore. I started selling my collection off little by little, I am glad I hung on to some of them as I now have 3 wagons to build all of a sudden. The first one I am building is another TMNT wagon. My dad called me up and told me that his autistic neighbor boy was in love with the turtles and that is all he talks about. So he told me to build him a Leonardo wagon and he'd pay for it. Having built one of these already I had a good idea on how to go about it. I am going to change up a couple things from the first one such as sticker design and seat fabric, so that it doesn't look identical to the last one I built. I had my dad come over and pick out the wagon he wanted to use for this one, we went with my model 99 which is a special edition wagon. This particular wagon model is the last Radio Flyers to be made in the US from everything I have read. I was a little sad to modify it, but at least it is going to someone that will appreciate it.

I began putting everything back together http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10389223_364142760410051_3380505524612522030_n_zps3167022d.jpg

Trails tech has been the biggest pain in my ass this year. Everytime I go to the track it is seriously something different that they give me shit over. None of which are against the rule books, they just simply don't know what the hell they are doing down there. Chris Stillwell, the track manager told me a couple years ago that they were trying to teach their guys how to tech Imports LOL. With that said, I have a buddy that has gone 10.1 with nothing more than a helmet and jacket. I have been kicked out on an 11.3 pass for having a stock belt. Maybe they will be a little more laid back since it's the end of the season.

Awesome!

Def great boost weather, I just know their schedule states that they may make it 1/8 mile depending on the weather. Hopefully that isn't the case as I am trying to actually get a good pass out of my car for once this year.

Looking like it's gonna be chilly (55* as of right now), hopefully they don't shut it down to 1/8 mile because of it.

I can't stand to see Winstons face during an interview. He has that, "I want to punch you in the fucking mouth" look about him. As for the Bama TE, I just read that no chargers were pressed... "The agents seized the drugs and the money, but if Freitag was charged with any crime, it is not reflected in court records." http://www.al.com/news/tuscaloosa/index.ssf/2014/10/alabama_football_player_caught.html Translation: Alabama just got 1 more scholly for next years over signed class.

I watched the TCU/Baylor game and TCU is over rated as well. I think the ND pick by me is a wishful thinking pick but I will stick with it.

Game pics for the week #14 Kansas St vs #11 Oklahoma Rutgers vs #13 Ohio State #21 Texas A&M vs #7 Alabama #15 Oklahoma St vs #12 TCU #5 Notre Dame vs #2 Florida State #23 Stanford vs #17 Arizona St Upset special: West Virginia over #4 Baylor

Thats awesome, congrats!

Rumors swirling that the same guy who busted Gurley out, apparently has over 100 Jameis Winston autographed items... http://www.elevenwarriors.com/forum/ohio-state-football/2014/10/41619/uh-oh-jameis

The thought of putting this motor in a golf cart crossed my mind when I got it, but I would rather keep it as a bike and build something nice for someone to enjoy. I will welcome constructive help all day long as I am not a pro, I just hope people realize that I do have an idea of what I am getting into and will make sure everything is in tip top order before it's finished.

"Da fuq" are you talking about? My tune has been the entire time that I was going to flip this come spring. My tune is the same, it is a cool toy/project. As a matter of a fact, go look at my very first post, or here I will save you the hassle Almost every person that has commented has been under the assumption that there is this wrong with the bike or that wrong with it, or I need to take a riders course ect. There has been very few things posted in here that are even worth my time looking at. The stuff that has been worth looking at I stated that I appreciated such as the wiring schematic or offer to contact if I needed help. Thanks for your concerns though haha

Winston is gone after this season regardless if he's suspended or not, FSU will go back to being mediocre like they have been most of the 2000's. I am just saying everyone is a year late to the party and this shit should've been handled last year when everyone knew he was guilty and that a cover up had occurred.

Good deal!

Does it even matter at this point? I mean the kid already won the Heisman and FSU a national title.

Yeah we will take that as well. All the cash donations we have gotten in previous years have been used to buy Bicycles. This year we are debating on buying bikes with it again, or use it to buy gift cards for the older kids who often get over looked at this event.

Hopefully this doesn't piss anyone off on here, as it has on other social media pages. I sent a pm to Anthony, but never heard back. So if it's an issue just let me know and we can delete it. For those with Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/1531400910424106/ We are back at it for our 4th annual Christmas toy drive. This year we will be holding the event on Sunday, November 16th, from 10am til 1pm at Target in Heath. The address is, 270 Central Pkwy, Heath, Ohio 43056. We are hoping the change in date brings even more people out to this event. As normal here are the important details. All cars, trucks, motorcycles are welcome to attend. We ask that all toys be new/unopened! We do not require the toys to be purchased at Target, but we do highly encourage it since they are gracious enough to allow us to hold the event at their store. There will be a few trucks lined up in the parking lot where organizers will be standing to collect your items. We will leave from Target, no later than 1:15pm and cruise to St. Louisville to the House of New Hope where we will unload the items. All toys must be new/unopened! While we do not mandate that the toys be purchased from Target, we highly encourage it since they allow us to hold the event there.

I was just about to post that, I wonder what violation he broke. That puts a damper on UGA's chances of winning out in my opinion. From an OSU perspective, that's a good thing haha Edit, just read that it's rumored to be money for autographs, just go the Johnny Manziel route and you're good. Hell you'll win the Heisman haha

So I hated the rear fender that was on the bike, so much so that I went out and bought another one. My brother in law who has built a few bikes told me to go to Tractor Supply Co. and pick up a trailer fender. I did just that, we had to bend, hammer and cuss in order to make it fit but we are almost there. I am going to cut the fender down some and do something fancy looking with it, just to give it some character. I also got the header off the bike, to remove the old, worn out heater wrap that someone put on it. This saturday I am going to take the pipe to a buddies house and bend it, pie cut it, weld it together (its a 2 piece exhaust with a clamp right now), then send it off Monday to be ceramic coated. Enough talking, here's some pics You can somewhat see my marking in this pic, I am going to cut 4" of the fender off by time it's done http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Bobber%20Project/10646679_10152790046061907_170060697637756534_n_zpsc781fd41.jpg Just kinda sitting on there, not in it's final position http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Bobber%20Project/10151416_10152790046116907_7943534983670525746_n_zps05171aae.jpg Old vs New fender http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Bobber%20Project/10374522_10152790046166907_7726807888394994679_n_zps3521e380.jpg The old header wrap was terrible, it fell apart and a lot of it turned to dust. Not sure what my camera's problem was http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Bobber%20Project/10174825_10152790046026907_8101108630767596147_n_zpsca2917d5.jpg Oh and just a random bobber I found online that I really like http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Bobber%20Project/WildCardCustomBobber2_zpsfcb28b46.jpg

Will do, appreciate it.

Truth be told, I probably wont even ride this thing. I am 6'6, this bike is way too little and is not a comfortable riding position for me. The price I got it for and the want to do something over the winter outside of my car was the main reasons behind purchasing it. I will make it a nice bike and sell someone a nice bike this spring.

I raced dirtbikes as a kid and have rode plenty of bikes, but thanks for your concerns. In regards to the bike running, it does and has been ridden a lot by the previous owner, the carbs have been synced. I am also aware that the brake and shifter levers need to be modified. As for the wiring, I have thought about just running it along the frame rail rather than tapping into the frame it's self. Thanks for the schematic!
