Default My latest "frame-off" OT
I just finished restoring a mid-80s Power Wheel that looks somewhat like a Model A for my grandson. Its now the same colors as my 31. It has a 6v motor. I found the car on Ebay a few weeks ago. My grandson's birthday is Friday.

Nice very nice, however you should have stayed with the green fenders

But than again not everyone here can have good taste. I do have a cabinet full of green paint if you are interested.

Don't mean to hijack this cool thread but this one is for Dusty who seems to have a little bit of a green fetish. If you are in to hand tools much and drink the Kool-Aid of Snap-on (which are without a doubt VERY nice tools despite their sky high price) You gotta check this thread out on Fordbarn's sister site Garage Journal. - THE GREEN SNAP ON TOOLS THREAD Your mind will be blown.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming - VERY cool jbond! I had an F150 powerwheels as a young kid in the early eighties and loved it! I'm sure your grandkids will as well - and it will be extra special coming from you and the work you put into it. Nice work!
