im planning a build only its N/A back to the days of flintstone.
a pedal car. foot power son!
its for my baby boy and ill be taking a while to build it.
heres what ive got so far. 6in wheels for the front 7's for that back.
square tubing (aluminum) for the frame
some metal rod for pedal and steering
and a 4x12 sheet of aluminum for $25 thats gonna be the body.

im planning on doing a 1932 5 window coupe.

im trying to design the steering but having a hell of a time figuring out a basic steering mechanism without making control arms. any ideas. the old school ones use a really good basic design but i cant find a pic of it on the web.

keep it light or your boy is going to be pissed. ;D

love the first car.

[NoiseRacing]

keep it light or your boy is going to be pissed. ;D

+1 to this just use angle aluminum, even aluminum square tubing gets heavy

build this for the little guy, and start him of early.

yeah this is why im trying to go as basic as possible.
like the steering needs to be basic.
i just figured it out. it'll have 4 elbow joints with pins keeping them in place.
maybe ill post a pic of the design.

[Ntrain2k]

That is so fucking badass.

[92CXyD]

It would be even more badass if you build a miniature  CRX.  :yes:

[klyph]

That is so fucking badass.

i hope that's a girl wearing those shoes and posing like that.
no son of mine is gonna pose on a car like a faggot.
men either stand next to their car or get out of the picture

Can you get those shoes at the dollar store?

[Ntrain2k]

Can you get those shoes at the dollar store?

NO
niggers, beaners and white trash don't wear those shoes.
only rich white people or wannabe rich white people do.

Uhhh, if his dad is baller enough to build that, I would venture a guess that he probably isn't hurting for money.

who is talking about the kids dad?
i said that only rich white people and wannabe rich white people wear those shoes. those two types of people don't shop at dollar stores, so why the fuck would the dollar store sell those shoe.

for all i know the kids dad is a rich white person, fuck i don't even care about that.
just as long as he's happy his son is a faggot.

Oh ok, so if your dad is rich, your not considered to be well off, because you are not your dad. Especially at 8 or so years of age.

Can't beat that dollar store logic.

Carry on Mike. Carry on.

This site is a troll's paradise.

[toyolla86]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha


this has got to be the stooopidest argument ever.

[toyolla86]

heres my steering.

there will be 4 elbow joints

hard for me to explain the rest since i dont know the exact terminology

[97Econobox]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Dollar store logic does that to people.  just wait for the "I was only joking about the bike/dumbassery cause my wife's got aids wah wah wah" thread next week.

everyone hates you mike.

[j.h.christ]

no son of mine is gonna have a toy like that because i'm too busy shopping for hot pockets and living off my mom's ssi

[klyph]

That sketch looks like a downs syndrome kid drew it mid seizure. I can't tell what the fuck is going on there.

Mikes son is gonna be a manly man just like his old man.  a dollar store shoppin, Hot pocket eating, beach cruiser motor bike having, non car posin, Manly man with NO job.

actually my dad would remind you of johnny just a little less paranoid. a tiny bit less
he worked in factories all his life, lifetime member of NRA, afraid of zombies, all the awesome that I'll never achieve.

The Solution to Dollar Store Logic

That's pretty fucked up, even by my standards.  Well done.

paper mock up of whats to come. this will be used as a general template

I think it needs to be a little bigger.  Also, put an engine on it.  Preferably with a horsepower rating of around ten.  For safety, put a governor on it, and your kid will gain an interest in mechanics quickly by figuring out how to disable it to he can haul ass.

[Phate]

ha ha, i was gonna say it's a little small.

10 hp is probably a little much, should toss a 80cc(66cc) 2stroke motor in it like the one i have on my bike.

I think 5-10 is about perfect, especially if its nerfed down in a variety of ways (throttle linkage not opening to full, governor, etc).  You could make it like a puzzle for him to figure out how to make it haul ass.  Like the go-karts at six flags that if you know the guy running the ride can go 50mph with the governors disabled.

[toyolla86]

hahaha i think im gonna keep it leg pwr'd for now. its more of a toy/stroller for now.

im making it way bigger on poster board. just drew up the sides and will be cutting them out soon.
ive got a lot on my plate so this will be taking a while to finish

[glustic]

Sick idea, hopefully you will actually finish it.

[toyolla86]

its coming along.

although its taking a way back seat to my subaru getting finished.
this is as of today.

[1991civicsi]

I would love to make one for my son.

[toyolla86]

thanks guys.

im thinking about making two since i have the templates already and ill be cutting the sheet aluminum. might as well do two right.
