You should be able to find a single seatbelt to match the cool new interior.

Thanks Keith, I'll look into that site.

Thanks Nate, we're having a little bit of a fight with the little man. He may be lactose intolerant. But other than that, not too bad. How about you? What shows are you coming to this year? We're going to have to meet up.

Hate to hear that Ryan. Hopefully things will turn around for him. I have to ask... is it true that the second one is a complete opposite to the first?

As for shows, that's still a little sketchy at the moment. Des Moines is still on the radar but it's pretty dim. If anything, we will drive up to the Truck Nat's in KC this fall, and then KS GG's is still on the potential list. Other than that, we will stay fairly local.

What about yourself?

If that isn't the truth; he was worth it. :)

Well worth the wait. Now I feel kinda bad for pushing so hard. :) But the thing is sweet. Congrats again on the kid and the kiddie car. :metal: you just keep adding thing to your list that i'm jealous of.

Well so far, but we're finally getting to it that he might be colicky.

Thanks buddy!

I'm going to Des Moines Good Guys, planning on KC Good Guys and the All Truck Nats. Other than that, who knows. :lol:

Re: Tot Rod: Mid-MO Style
 
Sounds good Ryan. Des Moines is out for us, but KS should be in the mix. The Nat's will probably be a stop and visit deal on Saturday this year.

Hey, just wondering if you looked into the value of the little car before you started working on it? If you watch American Pickers some of those cars are worth 1000's in unrestored condition! Like $5000-$10000! hope you kept all the original parts.

BTW, that was totaly my fav toy when I was a little tyke in the 60's, I loved my little car and mine was a 57 belair I think, no idea what my parents did with it! My mom always said that I drove that little car better than she drove the family car...too funny!

I know exactly what the car was/is worth. Like all the builds we do, everything we did was entirely bolt on so it can all be removed and returned back to original condition. American Pickers and other shows has inflated some of the values but I definitely didn't do anything that will take away from the originality of this pedal car.

Yep... it's pretty well done. Posts 66-68 pretty well show the car all done.
