thanks guys,still deciding what color to paint the wheels and how to mount a shifter in it ....more pics to follow [;)

An off white with baby moons would wood look good in my eyes, as far as a shifter I just drilled a hole in the side for a bolt as a pivot point at the bottom of the rod, two simple stoppers(I used closet door handles), a big old ball- barring to top it off. some guys suggested to rig it up to a rod that goes to one of the back wheels for a brake. I may do that too.

Looks good, I have been looking for a decent condition pedal car the last while to fix up for my daughter. The exhaust sets is off and the heated bends are a neat touch.
