Radio Flyer

[Pablo83]

I picked up some stuff at the hardware store, but now I'm realizing I'll need more of them.  Those fork shaped things (clevis fasteners) are going to be real handy, but they were a little expensive ($6.50 ea).  I'll need 4 total, which means those pieces alone will cost as much as the wagon did ($25).

oh the joys of hot rodding

The new half shafts were cut from the original axle, hence the rust.  I like rust, BTW.

I need another piece of metal to attach a bracket to the frame rails so I can rivet this piece to the firewall.

Killer! This wagon is gonna be sweeet!

[Pablo83]

I located an appropriate piece of metal and welded it to the frame rails.  The rest of the wagon should be able to go together tonight.

Here's the front end all mocked up.  I took this pic before welding on the frame rails.

Hell yes! Lookin great.

The front clip is now in place.  Here's a pic of the installation of the rear axles...

You going to go bigger wheels for the rear, or slam the whole thing?
Very cool, you got me lookin at the rusty 25 year old heap I got. 
Found this one on Google for some motivation...

Just slammed.  Real basic rat rod here.
