You know when you have one of those dreams as a kid, that just seem impossiable. You want it so bad it hurts but all you can do is dream. I dreamed as a kid that my wagon had a motor. That I could drive all over the place. You know I did not forget that dream of a wagon with a motor. I decided to create it after I had sold my all my hot rods and was left with a 1 car garage stufed with too much other stuff.
I had this idea of a wagon that looked like a old 50's flat tracker. Inspired by a set of tires I found in my Dads junk pile I started sketching ideas. I drew pictures for 2 years. Then I collected enough parts to go to the garage and start creating. I first created a pull wagon with a 2" inch dropped front axle. I had a lot of fun with it going to shows. After a while It just seemed to miss something. Over one of the longest Minneasota winters on record (2000-2001) I started looking at the wagon with a new light. I just happened to have a 5 horse Briggs sitting in my garage from something else so I thought what the heck and brought out the welder once more. So here some photos of me creating a custom radio flyer wagon with a 5 horse motor and a dropped axle. |
