Man o Man time sure gets away from a guy. Like Pops I have been fighting the get it done lack of ambition, lots of I should do this, but no follow through.
The 440 whet to a new owner it is going into a real nice 1967 Charger that had no drive train. The Hemi is installed in the 28 and ready to take out and do a little freshing up on, Oil pump, timing set, gaskets and paint. I'm waiting on parts like every one else so got back to work on the Pedal car.
This has turned out to be a really big project that is taking many many hours. I'm at 90 hr now and still have the dash and windshield stand, door and new frame rails and two fenders to build. I have the trunk, seat, bumpers, running boards and two fender done.

That is some fine looking metal work there Dozer!
I'll see your "fine looking metal work" and raise it to "mightly" fine....
I can see it's going to tough trying to get caught up on so many cool projects- the '28 is stellar. Great video on the headers. Get that 'follow through' flowing Dozer. I'm in. [P

Still working on the pedal car, it takes as long as a real car, almost.
The first picture is what I have to go on to build all the replacement parts.

Me not so much, it is supposed to have the solid wheels like in the picture, the owner could't find them so he bought four original Line Bros. wire ones from a different model.
Dozer...the headers are looking awesome! Great video....very cool to put a face to the name!

You have to be doing the pedal car as a labor of love, or experience. Too many hours to make any money at it. It is a heck of a cool project though. And it displays your skills nicely.

Thank you Bob, I'm not sure if I mentioned it earlier in this project but the owner has a car museum, and I know i posted some photos of his stash of projects. One of the 32-33 Chevy coupes in the stash is mine in partial trade for this pedal car as well as some cash. But I am definitly not making a bunch of money at it. I have learned a ton about metal shaping and problem solving and have had a lot of fun in the process.

...and you got to save a cool toy along the way... sounds like an awesome deal to me.

That in itself is worth the price of admission (and something I've always wanted to learn to that level) and totally part of the overall picture of why we do what we do. The 32/33 Chevy- can't wait to see that one start! [dr
I'm not a pedal car guy but, is that not an extremely rare one??? [S
