An offer from SCI for all you dad's out there. *wagon fab GTG*

[KeithStone]

that last one is dope.

Chad: No thanks to you for posting this and making us dudes that have no reason to have a wagon want to build them....

Exactly. I spent entirely way to much time yesterday looking at pimped out wagons, and debating if I really need to spend time and money on something that's only purpose would be to haul my beer around and look cool.

HAHAHA same with me and TickTack.

Well, that and researching standalone and different turbos. : D

I just put an order for nearly $400 together for all sorts of stuff from McMaster-Carr. Mostly threaded connecting rods and 24 heim joints being the bulk of that price... yikes...

Add to that the price of wheels and tires ($150ish), the wagon ($100), the tub painting ($100ish) and the frame chrome plating ($???) = close to a grand after it's all said and done.

I think I have to sell some stuff, LOL.

I love these wheels:

[ShowCar]

Jesus, Pete. Hahaha.

[Die Frau]

I know.

But I don't have a show car like some people. And I have a feeling my mod days are going to be pretty thin coming up... might as well do this up right.

I am still working through the design phase of this, I think that is why I need the help of some of you CADers out there... I tried using that google CAD thing and it sucked. I know what I want, and I have sketches... just need to get it all fancy and official.

I figure I can do most of it mysef, I just need help with the CAD, then some help bending and welding some .750" OD, .120" Wall steel.

[KeithStone]

Is it going to have a roll cage?

[Die Frau]

LOL, no.

It is going to have a halo that the tub rests inside of, just under the lip of the tub. Then a cross brace that goes under the tub. The multi-link suspension will mount off of this cross piece and then link up to the halo with some sort of spring/shock...

I know it sounds crazy, but it really is not as crazy as it seems.

I'll see if I can draw up some pictures tonight.

[KeithStone]

I like it.

[Die Frau]

I think it will look pretty sweet... the frame and as much of the suspension that can be, will be chromed and the tub will be painted Tiffany & Co. teal/blue...

It will be a Radio Flyer/Hot Rod version of this:

[Die Frau]

This is pretty crude... but Pixlr is my only choice at work, LOL

The front suspension and steering geometry needs some tweeks to make it more compact. And I will need to fab some sort of knuckle/spindle as well as the suspension mounts.

Anyway, here it the jist of it:

[Netdewt]

Does this have no steering?

[Hurricane]

Steering is underneath. I have seen a few of these

[ShowCar]

Most of the ones I've seen like that have no steering.
