Someone posted my buddie's Radio Flyer build and people seemed to dig it, so I'll post up some of his build. NOTE: This is NOT MY WORK, I just know the guy

Here are the spherical tie-rod ends for the steering.

I've got the Tie-rods good to go, as well as a bunch of metal for me to start fabing.

Super big shout out to Corey and Adam for hooking me up with the sweet new wheels for the wagon.

Also, working on the front spindles today. I decided to give it a basic front suspension too. I'll have more pictures soon to help explain how it's gonna work.

Ok, the spindles are done. I even added a spring suspension to it. Right now the axle bolts are temporarily JB-Welded to the assembly to get everything measured up right. They'll be welded on later. It's a little easier to see how it's going to work now. I'm going to start working on the drop-axle to connect both spindles tonight.

The drop-axle is all cut out. It'll need to be welded as well.

Measuring up the center support:

This image was lost some time after publication.

Finished the mounting tabs (with a correct Ackerman angle BTW) for the tie-rods to bolt to the spindles. I offset them from the kingpin in hopes that I'll get a little bit more steering angle.

This image was lost some time after publication.

This morning i finished the bracket that connects the handle to the steering and finally had all of it welded together this afternoon.

Finally! All of the waggon-fabbin is done! Now I just need to tear it all down, sand,grind and paint! As much as I hate black wheels, I'll probably just leave them that way.

I just finished the entire front end! Not to toot my own horn, but it looks rediculously good.

After a few days of grinding back some of the welds, then a bunch of body work filling and sanding. Then I painted most of it black. It seriously looks like its something that's manufactured. Since its 1:30am any photos now won't do it justice. So I'll post some tomorrow.

Bought foam, board and upholstered a cushion last night.

Alright guys, it's finished! Here's the photobomb.

Holy crap the want is ridiculous.

Slammed wagons, there's just something about them...

I like how the camber isnt total crap and the tires aren't stretched.

That is extremely cool. I want to build one, except I know my son would never sit still enough to ride in it.

Do you have an email address I could give him? I'll see if he can send it to you directly that way.

IDK what to tell you, man. He made it all himself using his own design he came up with. Maybe you could do the same thing.
