Re: Wampus Cat
Well, at least I finished one project truck.......
The two grand-daughters aged 5 and 2 were outgrowing their little 6-volt red truck, and with only one under powered driven wheel it would never go well in the grass anyway.
Someone gave my daughter-in-law an old Power Wheels 12-volt, two drive-motor truck that had been sitting out in the weather for quite some time and was very dirty and faded. I took it apart, cleaned it, "restored" the sun-faded plastic by rubbing it with a 60/40 mixture of paint thinner and boiled linseed oil, cleaned up all of the electrical wiring/contacts, and added a decal kit.
Also found a junkyard GMC emblem for the tailgate so it matches their Daddy's truck.
The girls have a lot more room, and the truck got lots of use this past weekend in our one acre yard.
