DODGER!The "Little Red Wagon" was one of my favorite models when I was a kid. Nicely Detailed Kit, with Many Options. I have been looking at the "Little Red Wagon" just sitting on the shelf for several years now and I finally decided what I want to do with it.  I am going to turn this Classic, Wheel Standing, Drag Racing Truck into a 2 Wheel, Monster Segway Truck! Here is a quick Mock-Up to give you an idea of what I have in mind.  More Coming...

Getting Started!This Kit offers opening Doors and Tailgate.  I glued the Tailgate and Rear Pan in place.  Then I sprayed a coat of White Primer on the Body. This will make it easier to Mark the Cutting Lines later.  More Coming...

Yea - two-wheeled car/monster Segway! Love it Ira! If this little two-wheeled VW toy can stay upright when you roll it across the floor and a Segway works with an electric motor then I can totally believe this cool project would actually work!
PS Love that drawing Tooold!.Attachment Deleted |

Cutting It Up!First I cut the Bottom section from the Doors and then glued the Door Sections in place on the Body.  Next I cut out the center section of the Pick-Up Bed and glued the Body Halves together.  Then I made a Template, a little bigger than the Tires and cut out the New Wheel Wells.  More Coming...
