I guess that i wil start from the beginning, about a month ago i bought a late 50's earlie 60's Murray Fire Chief push pedal car. To say the least it was VERY rough. 1st came the dis-assembly, 2nd came the sandblasting, 3rd came primer. Then i straightened out the metal and welded the area needed that were cracked due to wear and tear. Body work was in order next. After that was the 1st coats of primer surfacer to level all the bodywork out. Then the teadious task of blocking it the 1st time, WOW. The second and final coats of primer before paint were then added. Back to blocking it again for paint. The rest was the tipical paint procedures of applying sealer,basecoats, and clear. FINALLY reassembly, and for this i relyed on EBAY and SPEEDWAY Motors for all the original MURRAY parts i could find. I still have to add the string that rings the bell, but thats easy. After a month or so here it is:
The last picture is what it looked like when i got it but was in alot worse shape than this one.
Thank you to all who enjoy Fatherhood as i do, I brought it home yesterday after work and my son was all smiles EAR to EAR!!!
