Wagon build for my son...

[mazilla]

I guess I'll call it an early 1st Bday present....


*Sorry for the pics, my SLR is having issues.



This is how it started. It's a "Gorilla cart" that Home Depot sells for 69.99. It comes with 10" tires and has a 600lb weight rating. It also has a dump feature that I disabled by running a couple of bolt through the plastic tub and frame...I didn't want to accidentally dump my son out.




I used some made for plastic paint on the outside of the tub.


Next I took the two piece rims apart and shot them with some red engine enamel and cured them in the oven.


Next up are the undercarriage lights, red LED strips on the outside and an old fashioned red street glow tube down the middle.



Power is supplied by a 12V 7.5Ah battery in a camera bag that has been riveted onto the tub with tri-fold rivets. The sitch on the camera bag powers the lights.


I wanted a momentary switch on the handle so I welded a tab on.



Connected to the momentary switch...a car horn!


Added a 12v socket to the power, I have a USB adapter for the socket.


Clean install, no wires showing.


Interior is done, removable memory foam seat cushion + back rests.

Who owns this sweet ride?


I think he likes it!






I have one last thing to wrap up, that's speakers for the sound system. I bought a pair last night but they're larger than I like so I'm going to run out and grab another set...
