DaddyBuiltRacing Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 I just think people like to put their input in on everything really. It's just the day and age we live in with social media and forums. Oh well, moving along. Mounted side marker lights on it today, i'll await the negative comments about these lol http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/1005794_10151816472266907_477485438_n_zps52356d29.jpg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Why leave the handle rusty and poopy when the entire wagon looks so good? I suggest getting the wheels and handle polished, would be the finishing touch on this very cool wagon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 The handle isn't done, due to me having to stretch it. Being 6'6 has disadvantages sometimes lol. The wagon tries to pull wheelies if I pull it in a comfortable standing position. I think I am just going to paint the handle black after I cut/weld it honestly.

gillbot Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 I don't think it has anything to do with being standoffish. It's more that it's annoying when some one tries to tell you how to parent, or constantly says something about what may or may not happen to a child because he plays with this, or that. Especially when the dangers are as obvious as they are in this thread. We can all get hurt doing the most basic things and I am sure it has crossed Josh's mind about what may or may not happen to his sons fingers. I recently had a lady try to tell me my son shouldn't play with toy guns because it sends the wrong message, and that I shouldn't be giving rides on the mower because it's dangerous. I don't engage the blades when he's riding and we putt around the property. Same lady rolled her eyes when she heard my son has a 7.5' foot trampoline in the house. Happiest 2 year old ever. lol go fuck yourself lady. It was a simple question. From family members, maybe...random ass people, no thanks! Don't post on the internet seeking acceptance from random ass people then? I thought it was cool as hell, but christ i've never seen so many wadded panties or sandy vaginas in my life. Ok, now that i'm done looking in the mirror, back to the wagon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboNova Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 looks real cool I like it! Only thing I would do is have the wheels powder coated and the handle one of the chrome colors. good job man...if I ever have a kid these are the types of projects I look forward to.

zeitgeist57 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Looks like you've got room for a scale model of a blown Hemi in front of the wagon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Weld a chain solid and use it as the pull bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 He really wants lights that actually work on it, so I am gonna figure out how to mount a 6v cleanly without screwing up the body. I think I can just mount it in a box on the rear under it and hide it with a license plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fab some wheelie bars and a parachute mount that conceals a battery. Winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubar231 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 I think a scale model motor up front would be awesome! You could also put the battery and whatnot inside the motor and just run wires out the bottom. (Assuming the motor would be a plastic cast of one, the inside would be hollow and you could mount the battery in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 another good idea^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubar231 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Mount something like this on the front over the axles. http://web4.hobbylinc.com/gr/rmx/rmx851442.jpg Or something of the sort! Thats a 1/6th scale so i doubt it would be far off. EDIT: Dimensions (Base Size: 5-7/8" x 4-3/4") Might not be big enough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fubar231 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 This ones a 426 Dodge Hemi but its also a 1/4 scale so it might fit better http://web4.hobbylinc.com/gr/hak/hak11053.jpg http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/ehobbies-com_2272_2558767250 Found this in the comments on a website for this model: QUESTION: what are the diminsions of the engine model\? by None N 9/3/2012 STAFF ANSWER: the model is approximately 8.5 inches long by eHobbies C 9/3/2012 8.5 Inches seems like it would be a descent size, especially for the area you would need to fill. And its also a model so you two could build the motor together then put it on his wagon, like his own little project car Heres the link for the engine, its in stock and around $50. http://www.ehobbies.com/hak11053.html#tab2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fubar231 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 After looking at the model some too, i bet you could finish an exhaust using PVC pipe or something and painting it black. Would be badass! I hope you end up doing this Josh and i think it would look badass when all is said and done and really help the front end look of it! After putting the model engine on it and a fishing seat it would be his own roadster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRD2BDF Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 For some reason, I am envisioning some kind of gold flake lettering on the sides and a mini parachute on the back (you could put the battery in that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED.... ...TRYING TO PLEASE YOUR CHILD... ...WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT HIS WELL-BEING. WHAT KIND OF PARENT ARE YOU? THAT THING ISN'T SAFE. YOU MIGHT MESS UP A GROUND... ...SEND 6 WHOLE VOLTS THROUGH YOUR CHILD... You should just stop, repent for your sins as a parent, and sell me that bada$$ wagon for $100. :gabe: :gabe: :gabe: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Bwahahaha, he has a model engine already. His grandpa bought it for him for Christmas last year, it is clear so you can watch the rotating assembly rotate and lights up when the plugs are firing. I don't want to put a motor on it honestly. I don't have a truck of my own so hauling it would become a real issue. I do agree with gold lettering on it. I have thought about doing the Radio Flyer font but spell out Daddy Built. I have also joked about putting a parachute on it, just gotta find one that fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Put a wheelie bar on the back. That way you don't have to have your kid wear a helmet when he's in it and you don't flip him when you're trying to 60' the neighbor next door.

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) Picked up another one today at random. Me and my buddy was cruising home from the junkyard down a side street and saw a guy hauling this in his other wagon. Stopped and asked if he wanted to sell it, told him I would give him $20 for it. Thing is set up for a motor, has the axle on it still. http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/1185883_10151818693426907_449744666_n_zpscdae6f36.jpg Edited August 30, 2013 by DaddyBuiltRacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
