Worked on my next project today, my grandson's pedal car. Hopefully it won't take me as log as the 48 to complete.

Jag IFS, 9 inch swap, and a crate 302 will finish it up.

You've learned to paint very well... your Grandson is going to be the king of the road. That would be great mounted onto a power wheel frame...

Pedal cars can become legacies these days. I paid $5 for the remnants of one in 1986. Did a Bill Elliott Coors paint job on it. All of my 7 grandkids have played with it, wore out 2 sets of tires and tore all the corners off of it. Even has a Darlington stripe down the right hand side. Now it hangs from the ceiling in my garage. Worth a lot more than money now.

Done in time for his birthday. I was going to really trick this think out but then figured out that it would just be his daily driver so I hope that he has fun with it.

A 302 is not so crazy, there is a guy here in Houston who has a golf cart with a 426 Hemi in it! Scott at Scott's Hot Rod Shop in Pearland worked on it and told me about it. Scott is a friend of a friend of bjmayberry2.

Sawyer is thinking ...boy you would be in big trouble if my feet could reach these pedals....I'd have the same grin if I was sitting in it!
