I took a few weeks off from my chevelle (before i start the long road of body & paint) to get a few things done around the house and to "fix" up this 59' Murray pedal car for my son Jack. I found it last week on craigslist after looking quite a bit. It was originally a firetruck, but i decided to make a hot rod out of it for him. I originally intented to build a frame and make it a gasser style push car. After seeing that he could actually pedal it, i decide to scrap the gasser idea and leave it a pedal car... with a removable handle to help push him along at car shows.... I wanted to make it look like a well worn kustom hauler, like we see at many shows... complete with a heavy metal flake dash. Kind of a "in-complete resto" from the 60's. anyway... Enjoy!

Primed, painted then red scuff pad to get the right look... just got to know when to stop

every cotter pin/ nut a bolt was replaced with stainless parts... the dogdish caps were lightly sanded and cleared to capture the "patina"
