Default Halloween Hot Rodder - my sons modified red wagon

I had been wanting to build my son a wagon that we could take to car shows and run around the neighborhood.
My dad had this old red wagon in his shop and my wife and I decided to fix it up.

The headlights are from wal-mart, I found the tires at a local hardware store, added a frame and split a ford V8 valve cover in half. The block of the motor is a muffler that came off of a semi. Momma sewed up his seat and found a nice harness online. I found a Ford drawer handle at hobby lobby and through that on the grill. We had a lot of fun on halloween this year.

That's pretty tight! Nice job and I like the family doing it together!! Big Plus right there!

At first I thought he needs a steering wheel, but I know the age etc...

Have you considered being able to move the seat fostoragerward and have a pickup style storage area behind your "driver"?

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.
