Here I have decided to add my sons collection of cars I have built or restored for him. The Hot rod you see below is made from a 30 gallon drum. I made it for his 1st birthday, and added a removable handle so we could use it as a stroller. And let me tell you, It strolls better and smoother than any of the big named strollers. I have the steering ready to go and originally wanted to make it into a pedal car, but have since decided to make it into a power wheels type of car. I have mocked it up and it will work. I built this 2 years ago. It has 10 inch wheels, real padded black vinyl seat, plexiglass windshield, stainless steel headlights, and a ford oval emblem on the grill. We get some looks pushing him in this thing.

The Chopper you see below was found at a thrift store, and was in poor condition. It did have the charger and worked. I bought it for $10.00 and decided to restore it for my sons 2nd birthday. I decided to lose the Military Patrol design and go with a different look.

Pretty cool huh?

Now That he's Older, I found him this Motorcycle in the trash, cleaned it up and gave it to him for his Birthday. As you can see its a girl magnet.

Next, I found him a John Deere power Wheels in the garbage, that really need nothing than a good cleaning and some TLC. Photos to come......
