Well I got the TMNT wagon all back together today. The only thing I have left to do is put the eyeballs on for the mask and secure it (was only temped up for the picture). Over all I am pretty happy with how it came out http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10530771_10152629526506907_1550060963736877794_n_zps76f1d1f8.jpg http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10501867_10152629526431907_1230297621740126496_n_zpse49c86df.jpg http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10513251_10152629520931907_2499059442868296919_n1_zpsefb9ca7b.jpg

Thanks, just let me know if/when you find some. I scower the local selling walls and craigslist usually 2-3 times a week looking for cheap ones. I am hoping to finish up the Ninja turtle wagon this weekend. Got it most of the way back together, gotta sand down the axles a little bit to get the wheels to fit over the powder. I also gotta paint the wheels, just now sure what color I want to do them. http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10485899_10152624852536907_8158413297316947290_n_zpsc8486181.jpg Found an image online that I thought would be cool for the stickers, modified it a little to give it a personalized touch http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/10595728_10152562454496900_880163087_n_zps9cc22b34.jpg I should have it wrapped up by Sunday night hopefully

I try to keep it under $25, that way I don't have to jack the price up more than it already is in order to make $5-$10. The cheaper the better, condition doesn't really matter to me as I have a lot of spare parts laying around.

LOL, but I like these things to move not just sit around

I finally got the Camaro inspired wagon back from the powder coater today, as well as the TMNT wagon. I will start by posting pics of the Camaro one, since I am about 90% of the way finished with it. http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/260ec9ea-7e7d-42ff-b33b-f8a62f87f33c_zps551a25f4.jpg http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/54f30ac1-42bb-4492-b9ef-58c6ced3c136_zpsc4ef7d49.jpg http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/447fdc19-0b42-4886-92fb-24f7aec8a229_zps6d6c0517.jpg I am pretty happy with how it turned out, given the amount of money I had to work with. Here's the car it was inspired by http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/1512854_322678481223146_6027229898881267238_n_zps755bed6d.jpg

I go to school with a lot of people that are in their early 40's and older. As someone else said it's never too late to go back. Hell one guy in my nursing class is mid 40's and has been a masonary worker his entire life, just one day decided he wanted a different career/life path.

Thanks! I never thought this would be something I would be spending my free time doing, but here I am haha. The biggest issue I have with doing these is $$$, I have ideas for days, but the limiting factor in this, like most other things in life is money. On the pink wagon I made a little more money because I traded my powder coater a set of wagon wheels for some money off my bill. On the TMNT wagon, I might make $10-$15 profit. I give people a price and they think I am either making a fortune or over priced, but the sad reality is neither are true.

Well I got one finished and picked up another wagon build along the way. http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10389428_10152587478411907_9142356782354022594_n_zps7be912ae.jpg The next wagon I am building is for a little boy who loves Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The wagon they chose from my collection is one that comes with bigger/rubber wheels from the factory. It was pretty rough looking, but sandblasting and powder coating will take care of that. http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10349210_10152544435921907_736735144308794399_n_zpsc6bca832.jpg http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10320259_10152544435821907_7303783832114522521_n_zpsc5ff7fe5.jpg I bought a turtle shell along with weapons of his favorite turtle (Raphael) to use on the wagon. The shell will be mounted on the rear of the wagon, and the front of the wagon will receive the red mask. http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10524577_10152591702611907_461373914962996733_n_zpsf84ddeb5.jpg I am hoping to have this one back from powder coating by the end of the week and wrapped up by the weekend.

Finishing this wagon up for a customer. http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10463062_10152568854196907_1447585667120588075_n_zps2078b5c8.jpg Got it back from the powder coater today http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/DSCN2657_zps8a35bba9.jpg Painted the wheels and then sprinkled em with glitter before clear coating. The customer wanted it to feel princessy (not sure if that's a word). It's really hard to capture the glitter in a picture, hoping that once I have it all back together and do a little photo shoot it will be easier to see. http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/DSCN2643_zps5f34a0ba.jpg

Pm'd ya sir

Yeah, we was pleasantly surprised. The cops rolled through all night, even had one walking around checking out all the cars. They were super cool with what was going on

When: Saturday, September 27th at 8:00pm Where: 1 S. Park Place Newark, OH 43055 (Downtown Newark Square) We held a meet here last night and it went great. There was no burnouts, limited amounts of trash left behind and over all the level of douche bag was low. Hopefully this one goes as smoothly, so we can continue to hold these. For those not familiar with our square it has ample parking, there is a McDonalds and Wendy's, along with a strip club. This location puts us closer to the highway (16) and closer to the e85 station. Cops will be rolling through often, since this location is 2 streets over from the police station and half a mile away from the sheriffs office.

Wasn't our biggest turnout, but it was our best meet over all. There was no burnouts, limited amount of trash left behind and really no one acting like a douche bag. We will hold another one this year at some point

I'll be there as long as I don't break anything between now and then

I am currently building a wagon for my brother in law who lives in Colorado. His father in law owns a 69 Camaro and wanted a wagon built with it in mind. This one isn't going to be anything super crazy as the budget is somewhat limited, but it should hopefully capture the car as best as possible, given what I have to work with. First the car: http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/10413347_243575572509185_2424183762648056305_n_zps38965c37.jpg Now on to the wagon stuff. Started out as a $20 beat up looking wagon that someone had spray painted over several times through out it's life. I had a set of wheels laying around that were a 5 star spoke style, that I felt fit this wagon better than the regular radio flyer wheels. Got it all mocked up, his approval, then torn down and sent off for sandblasting/powder coating http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10509597_10152535947806907_7475887956855783106_n_zpsfa666b38.jpg http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/10445970_10152535947846907_7130755376027595305_n_zps21548291.jpg Today I stopped in at the powder coaters to pick up a couple other things I had there and to check on the wagon. It had just came out of the baking oven, so I snapped a pic of it. I am happy with the outcome so far, the suspension parts were in the other oven still baking, so I wasn't able to get a picture of them. SS stripes are getting added to the tub to make it look like the car a little more. I am also going to do a sticker with my soon to be nephews name "Camden" in the Camaro font and put it on the wagon somewhere. The sides are getting stickers that say Ole Glory, which is the cars name and can be seen on the front valance in the picture. http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/14883_10152570941506907_1831860874297885559_n_zpsbf5ba708.jpg I am hoping to have this one all wrapped up by the weeks end and then beginning on 2 other wagons I am building for people. I will post pics as they come of this wagons completion and the other 2 wagons.

Bump! We are aware that it's the same date as Goodguys, we still expect a big turnout

Many feel this class will end up being 24-25 after attrition

LORAIN — Police say Ohio State University football player Tracy Sprinkle has been arrested on charges of cocaine possession, rioting and failure to disperse after a bar fight in northeastern Ohio. Ohio State spokesman Jerry Emig said Sunday that the 19-year-old defensive end was suspended from the team because of the arrest. A Lorain police report said Sprinkle was arrested early Saturday after police responded to a fight at the Grown N/Sexy Bar and found large groups fighting inside and outside of the bar. The report said Sprinkle was first charged with rioting and failure to disperse and later with drug possession after what appeared to be cocaine was found hidden in the seat of a police car where Sprinkle was detained. Sprinkle was in jail Sunday awaiting a court appearance. No attorney was listed for him.

The award for coolest neighborhood, goes too.....Yours!

Well the wheels for my nieces wagon finally arrived. I have to get a sleeve machined up so they fit on the axles, but I know a guy locally that can do it. I think I am going to add another little sticker under the big one after she is born, sort of like a model number. I have had a lot of people hit me up about building these for them, so I think I am gonna start doing them. Not trying to advertise, but if anyone is interested in this, shoot me a pm and we'll talk http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10421146_10152557741876907_5399111927990700842_n_zps2ed8f7e4.jpg
