The Little Man's wagon.....so far......

Here's the wagon as it is so far. Still looking for the wheels and tires it was supposed to have, but in time, it'll happen. For now,though. The little man can still go cruising. It started as an early 70's radio Flyer steel wagon. I cleaned it up, did a little body work, and painted it. I also made the side rails from wood I got from Lowe's, and the front tank (the trunk) is made from a junior dragster that I polished. I also cut the side out to make a hinged door. The tag is for the little man. His name is Jesse, but we call him "J". It has a soft foamy type bed in it so he is comfortable on long hauls. The front suspension uses spindles instead of the big uni-steer thing it came with. It's ready for a test run.

Yes....yes it would. That IS what I had it designed for. Had to lift the suspension for these tires, but, for now, it's working.
