crazyrichard Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 lately the internet is flooded with pics of kids rods .. a lot of rat rods for kids home made by their fathers , very cool and very creative ... now i have seen motorized versions , pedal versions and push versions .. i made a non pedal / powered version to be pushed with a bar ... i came to this when i found like a suprize egg car .. looked like a vintage pedal car and i had a 32 ford rod from hotwheels .. and a 1/25 go cart ... so the idea was born and i merged some parts together , bit of rust and ome chrome ...and voila a fun quick thing ... all the selected parts together this was the result > a rat rod with pushbar , fake shifter and i made a ssmall nose cone for it the go kart wheels needed a lot of work , hard cast plastic with a large seem , i sanded that off in the drill and painted the tres matt black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
