I saw this on the web from this weekends coverage of the Goodguys event in AZ.
It made me think of your project!

Re: Tot Rod: Mid-MO Style

Haven't found one at a garage sale but Craigslist is a good place.

That's where we dug up this beauty.

Re: Tot Rod: Mid-MO Style

LOVE this new twist to "Pedal Car Strollers",...

Bad a$$,... so cool!

Headers, injector stacks, Moon tank, drag slicks, digger steering wheel and gold metalflake seat upholstery!
Best of all,... straight axle front end, with spoke wheels and the "Wild Child" decal on the side.
Alot of thought when into this one.
