made the grill a little more realistic. and started in on the hood.
as you can tell ive only just started the hood. its not even cut. just bent into place.

ill be cutting it out of the sheet aluminum as soon as i get this one all mocked up perfectly.

btw this will be my first time working with sheet in this fashion.

Awesome idea.

I hope you address the sharp edges and corner of the Al sheet metal b/c kids can find any sharp corner imaginable. :?:

I'm sure you've thought of this already... but where does he get into it?  Will the top be removeable or?  And for the steering you could do a linkage from the steering wheel to another 'wheel' with two bars protruding from it, and the "control arms" could be attached to the bars... that probably doesn't make any sense.  Maybe I'll try drawing later if I'm feeling inspired

yeah the top will have a big ass hole in it where he'll be sitting out of it.
and the steering took forever to figure out ( i reinvented the wheel)
but i got it. hopefully it works well.

update. started the body in aluminum today. so far so good.
the welding will be the deciding factor in the quality of the job.

yeah thats why i started gettin hot on this thing. he'll be too big pretty soon.
im thinking it should be big enough for him till he's about 3 years old. then it'll just be a shelf car.

top is coming along as well. just did this part tonight.

as soon as i get all the body parts done ill tack them all together and start pounding dents out. lightly of course.
this metal is super pliable.

Use a leather sand flled bag and a rubber or plastic mallit. Or make a wodden slapper mallit. It'll work good and won't mar or over work the metal.

In spring I got idea to build a 4 wheel pedal car for my son. To use wheels from old bicycles, to make it as small and light and simple as possible and to make it possible to fit even an adult person.
I was really disapointed surfing internet, as I found almost no free ideas, plans or experiences how to do it. It is no nuclear science, people would invest millions in their know-how, so they would need to hide it!
Now it's autumn now and our car is done. I decided to share my experiences and detailed photos as free plans with other people, interested in self buliding pedal car of that kind.
I wanted my 9 years old son to learn basics of construction and working with metal and wood. He did almost all hand works by himself and he is very proud on it. It is a very good way to move your child from TV and computer games!
