mate thats awesome, I had the same concept in mind for my little fella too, although I was leaning towards building a '28 or '32 roadster, Does the handle in the rear allow you to steer it as well as push?.

Did you build it yourself or did u buy it as a kit?

Top work!!!

Yes the handle is how you steer it, you just need to lean back on it enough to lift front wheels and it will turn which ever way you want.
You can also remove the handle and it fit's in my wifes VY boot no problems.
Have not tried it in the torries yet.
I got the body already gelcoated yellow and windscreen cast alloy which was the only style I could find and basically with the help of some mates built the rest.
The airbrush work was done by a pro.
I have seen a few over east but nothing like it here, allthough one of my mates got himself a body and windscreen for his young bloke.

Any chance of posting a pic of the frame and handle and maybe some overall dimensions? My Mrs also has a VY so it would be perfect!!

I'm looking to hand build the body out of either aluminium or light guage steel as a practice project for when I try to build a fullsize version for myself...hehe

My chassis was designed with the restraints of the body taken into account, so it wouldn't be suitable for a custom build. We put about 30 hours into the design of our chassis and I am hoping to move some more body's over here, provide basic plans and spects with them if they need them so I can't really give away the details.
I'm sure you'll understand being a fellow car builder.
I think most people will build their own chassis to suit different wheel combo's.
Most of the ones I have seen over east were all different in their own way, it all comes down to the persons ideas.

No worries mate, never hurts to ask.

A tot rod chassis can afford to be very basic so it shouldnt take long to come up with something.

Looks great, good luck with the venture!!
