Sometimes you feel pretty proud of your mods and repairs

Other times you realize you aren’t building functional 4 link suspension on a $5 Cozy Coupe for your kid like my cousin apparently is. Yes, its for real with real working suspension including gas charge struts for shocks/springs. Yes the steering works. No I don’t know if the lights are hooked up. The attention to details is shockingly good. There is a diff case for no diff!

What did I do today? I dug a big hole.

Aww, what an adorable blur! Also, I like digging big holes. And jumping in them. And being stuck there for approximately 4 hours straight. And starving. Anyways, do you fill the hole with acornz

Good news is he may be able to transfer it all to a powerwheels when the time comes.

But the point of the cozy coupe is the Flinstone drivetrain, steering, brakes, and when another kid is added to the mix holding the feet up while getting pushed, then learning to keep hands in during a rollover. So...

Neat.

That’s a lot of work to impress other Dads.. I appreciate it, don’t think the kiddos really care.

See if it can power over the hole you dug. Then you gat partial credit for the project.

That is pretty cool.

I think that would be a bad idea, but I like the way you think.

Gets a new welder, finds a $5 Cozy Coupe at garage sale, nights spent in the garage... voila!

What you can’t see is the 5-point harness. I’m sure a motor is probably next. This kid has the coolest stroller on the block!

dang straight! I need more welder time, and more tools. I realized last project that I don’t even have basic cutting tools like a die cutter or cutting torch...to say nothing of tube or sheet benders. I have miles to go.
