This is the basic design all mocked up. I still needed to disassemble everything to paint the frame and wheels. There was a large gap between the frame and the steering knuckles. I ended up using some junk valve springs as spacers in that location. They kind of look like little coil springs in there now.


So, I let it sit for a few months but just got back around to finishing it. I painted the wheels and the "white walls" on the tires. I extended the handle arm 14" so I didn't have to bend down so low to pull it. I also added a Hurst shifter handle to the handle arm to finish it off. We took it out for a test run last night. My 3 year old loved it. She had a big smile on her face. That's what it's all about after all right? So here it is, my first welding project is done. What do you think? In typical Mopar fashion, no part of the original wagon was modified. Someone can return it to stock one day if they really want to.
