Hey Guys -

 

After scouring the net for months, the misses and I were finally able this past weekend to find and buy a Silverado Powerwheels for the my son. I started looking around even before he was born, since Fisher-price decided to discontinue the Silverado and introduce the F-150 last year. :D I can't buy it new. We drove over an hour on Saturday to pick it up, and I spend most of the day yesterday tearing it down, modifying it and get it ready for paint. The plan is to make it a "mini- me" silverado. What do you guys think? :)

 

Here's the before shot: (He already threw a fit when we took him out of it)

Badass!!! I wish my truck would do that. :D

 

That poor kid is going to be in trouble when he gets a real car/truck someday. He had better learn to build a tranny/rear end first....and get a good job to pay for tires and alot of tickets. :D

NAH! :jester:

 

 

I just wish I had one of these things growing up! My dad made me a car but I had to push the damn thing up the hill, and it was made out 3/4 plywood. It was heavy as hell! :D

Now that I know they are so hard to find im looking now! Great idea on making it a mini me truck. That will be some great times working on the truck while your son is trying to be like dad working on his in the grage too!
