TOPIC: pedal cars/trucks/planes/trains

i was wondering if anyone has one ,cheap,i think it would be fun to restore one ,just something to do over the winter,lol,john

You mean like this? Come and get it!

Originally had a bell on the hood, and wooden ladders on the racks:

pedals and steering work

Its got it share of dents... guess we were rough kids!

finding a fourth hubcap wont be easy, either:

yeah jim,like that,how much and how much to ship it if you would,i think i could have alot of fun fixing it up,i love restoring stuff,especially old stuff,thanks jim,john

Do any of you guys watch American Restoration on the History channel? I love it.

robert,yep,thats what got me to thinking of doing this,it looks like alot of fun,i like to take something in bad shape and try to make it new again,john

John, check your email for a proposal....

jim,thats a fantastic proposal!!!!!!!!!!!!,i will fix it up and sell it on ebay with the procedes going to fiberglassics,your a good man jim!
i love the idea!i cant wait to start,today im finishing the base for my wifes carousel horse ,then im going to work on a steering wheel for brian williams.
the fire truck i can do between honey do lists,lol.great idea jim,john

You're not that far, since shipping this is too large for ups, or fed ex, perhaps we can meet halfway, somewhere...
you're prolly 3. 5 to 4 hours from me...
Just a matter for me to find a few hours to make the drive...

jim,im pretty sure fed ex will ship it,i will be able to come up with the money next month,this month hit us hard,new rotors for my truck,plus fuel oil,etc,thank goodness i got a great price on the model boat i bought,lol.
i get around 9 to 10 miles a gallon,and dont have the cash right now,if you can get it in a box for shipping i can probably arrange for pickup of it then,and if that doesnt work out then we will have no choice but to meet up somewhere,besides it would be great to see you again,john.p.s. ill put this in the main forum maybe somebody there has an idea of how to ship it.

John,

I had something similar (no back steps) when I was a kid. I believe the ladders hd 4 rungs and was a varnished pine.

Being in the Fire Protection biz, I may be able to come up with some cool accessories. Let me know if you have any ideas.

BTW, you are getting a different steering wheel with my Care package.

thanks todd,im going to need a little red light and a bell,i can get them on ebay when i get closer to having it done,and no problem send whatever you need done,im happy to do it,buddy,john
