The car looks great. However try being a car guy in Chicago. Between the Ice, the snow, the pot holes, the salt and the below zero temperatures it really sucks and don't get me started about Mountain bike here in the winter. I had to buy a fat tire bike so I could ride in all of the snow we have here. Did i mention the 3.8" wide studded tires for bike cost over $200.00 each.
Umm, they invented this thing back in the cave man days called "moving"....hehehe

I feel Marty's pain, literally. My garage is nothing more than an inclosed car port. Works great for sheltering the car and bike but there's zero insulation. I can't really do anything unless it's in the 50 or higher with sun and little wind. It's frustrating. So I just hang out here looking at people like Cal making progress on their rides and I try to live vicariously.

I'll try to continue making progress and make it entertaining. I should just film the build when my boys come in the shop. They're 3 1/2 and 2. Everyone on this site would log in to watch. It's pure pandemonium, one has a screw driver the same size as him and the other is using the creeper as a skate board. It's pure comedy.

Cal.

Sounds like my garage when I started building the Syborg truck. Not sure when but i hung a baby swing from the rafters so i could contain one of them so I could work on the truck.

ps - make sure it has a child proof buckle so they can't get out.

pss - make sure you don't add Monkey Bars as that didn't work so good and no you can't ask what happened.

Sounds like a fun time for sure, Cal.

The Radio Flyer used to be what I napped them in when they were in the garage. Now we modified it a bit to get a little extra speed out of it. Handles pretty good to.

I figured if they're going to be in the garage, getting in the way, might as well start them off right. Those are real bead lock shifter cart wheels and the steering is all stainless rod and hiem joints. The next one I build will have a motor.

Very cool radio flyer. Looks like fun for the kiddos. I want to get a couple of those or an old school pedal car made up PT style for my niece and nephew. :headspin:

Thanks. The boys love it and it will coast for a mile. Shop around for some used cart wheels and tires and it's pretty cheap to build them.

Thanks, Cal.

Anyone out there have a nice set of seats for my camaro? I'm looking for a low back style seat that has some side support that keeps you in the seat and accepts harnesses.I'm not a fan of the typical high back racing style seat that tend to get real wide around your head and shoulders. If anyone has a used set or any suggestions, let me know.

Thanks, Cal.
