Making Cool Things From A Scrap Pile
This is to inspire others as it did me many years ago. Here in dim dar hills, kids used old car hoods as sleds when it snowed so they were all rotted out anyway laying in the hollow's. Taking an old go-kart and pimping it for our Grand God-Children so when they so up, spoiling begins! Sectioning metal was the old way of sprint making as many did not have the skills in forming and wanted to get on the track quick. Will keep Ya'll posted as this progresses.
Enjoy!

What is going on with the picture imports? They are vertical when I start!

Hank,
I want to kick myself for using all the hoods that I did for "sleds". The one that I remember the most was from a 57 Chevy. Made a great toboggan for group when towed behind our truck.

I dig it, Hank! I've had thoughts of making one of these in the future for the little one.

Re: Making Cool Things From A Scrap Pile
Recycling at it's best. My scrap pile keeps getting smaller rather than larger. There are things you can't buy in it.
Fun to see this.
Thanks
Rich

That's where all the 26/7 coupe trunk lids went. They make a great sled. Roadster lids are almost as good.

Re: Making Cool Things From A Scrap Pile
By no means hijacking this post, but I've just listed in the classifieds 9 articles on how to build one, some vintage and others newer. Great source of information in one place. Start building one now for that "special" surprise at Christmas
Always looking for vintage Whizzer engines, bikes & parts. What do you have?
