F.O.N Nor-cal Wagon build off

Edited: 6/6/2007 10:07:35 PM by Crazygenius13

OK, our Nor-Cal chapter of Freaks decided to do a friendly wagon build off since they are kinda popular to pull around shows and stuff. There are 2 teams competing, Lodi chapter (boooo) and Bay Area chapter (us), the rules are, that it must be built for under $250, parts you have don't count towards the total, and the deadline is Summer Madness (this weekend) in Bakerfield, CA. We decided to do a donk with some minitruckin style incorporated into it. It's fabricated 99%, we used the original pull handle, but modified it. eveything else, including the working axles and steering were made from scratch.

So.... on to the pics!

Started with about $75 worth of tubing and Flat stock.

gratuitous weld shot


We used not a drop of filler on the whole thing


The new pull handle


The axles Fabbed from scratch


Brian and Ryan welding the hubs onto the axle assembly

Some detail work

Metal finishing on the body looks great

I did a litlle bit of striping on it, it was my first time doin anything othre than some lines on a practice board.



One more shot, with the 20" x 9" Kaisers





soooooooo, what does everyone think?

this looks awesome.

i hope they dont take those brass knucles from you at the gate...or maybe i do hope they take them. they look kind of dangerous.

Maybe they'll just make their way into my pocket as we roll in. lol.

I am loving it, can I have it lol
Great build

Thanks, if someone wants to buy it at any of the shows, we'll sell it, it's too big to keep here for too long. lol It's sturdy enough to pull a full grown man in too. beefy as sh^t

!!!!! sweet lookin wagon

Nice goin Pete. Now the whole world knows what it looks like before the club even sees it. Sooo much for the debute. Oh and im the one that has to carry that 300lb wagon in the back of my bagged S-10 for 6 hours. Nothin like a little dead weight on an already slow truck.

i see frank in the background sick ass wagon tho.
