Ramsey Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 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 Sweet!

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) Money talks, I have another radio flyer here already that I am going to build. I could use the money I make off the lifted one I got today towards getting my car tuned. Oh yeah, I extended and painted the handle, also replaced the side markers with some CRB 1000rr lights. They are a little darker amber and have a black trim panel rather than the 1980s chrome. Pic quality sucks, blame my IPhone, I do http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/1236284_10151819464161907_1575905656_n_zps97ea5179.jpg Edited August 30, 2013 by DaddyBuiltRacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Today I decided it was time to install some lights. I picked up a rechargeable 6v battery and charger as well as some LED neon lights. The LED's were real easy to install since they are thing strips and have 3m tape on the backside of them. In order to keep the wagon clean looking and conceal the battery I cam up with an idea. I made a template of the front part of the tub on the wagon, transfered that to cardboard and eventually to some plywood. I am going to hide the battery inside a box that doubles as a cup holder. My dad gave me a jeep top that he had laying around, I am going to use it to wrap the box in to keep it waterproof. http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/1230041_10151823696381907_1517080979_n_zps10d395f1.jpg http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/21423_10151823404941907_1537591976_n_zps0291b65f.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Nah, this is the last thing I plan on doing to it. He wanted lights under it and the cup holder will serve a purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 So, when are you going to lower it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) It's a lot lower than a stock radio flyer, that's low enough for me. I did tell my buddies last night that I will build a non functional slammed one at some point and sell it to some ricer cause I know they will eat it up. I love the functionality of this one since we take nightly walks with it now. http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/1176296_10151679407882851_834426393_n_zpscd5cc631.jpg Edited August 30, 2013 by DaddyBuiltRacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Thanks, I now own 7 of these things lol. Me and a buddy are building a couple to raffle off at the next Newark meet, with proceeds going to the toy drive we do here. The other 3 I picked up tonight for $40. One of them is from the 40-50's.

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Pretty sweet, I have built a couple more since building the one for my son: This one featured a vtec camshaft for the front axle which rotates when the wagon is pulled. A 1940-1950's Mopar headlight that works and is controlled via a foxbody shifter with b&m knob http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/1394137_10151914746746907_1396398340_n_zps5cd934da.jpg Then I just built this one for my nieces for Christmas http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/1461003_10152012896121907_1306134947_n_zps32aa3931.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Everyone says that until I tell them how much it cost to build one haha. There's over $200 in the pink wagon, the sandblasting, powder coating and hydro dipping was the bulk of the money. I traded wheels with a buddy of mine who was building a lowered one so those were free, then had to buy bolts to put it all together.

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Didn't want to create a whole new thread, so figured I would just use this one to keep sharing pics of wagons as I build them. I have a niece on the way in October and figured I might as well build her a wagon. I picked this wagon up for $20 and sent it off to be sandblasted/powder coated. I am pretty happy with how it's turned out so far, still gotta get wheels and a seat cushion for it, which should be done in the next couple weeks. http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10366099_10152479769226907_4404269827683354353_n_zps8cba9f7f.jpg http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10378967_10152484472036907_5497933361173992413_n_zpsdc9b3456.jpg http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10447033_10152509736806907_6510910884638535679_n_zps312c25a1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
