Dune Power Wheels Project

I've been thinking about making a Home Page photo.

[marvins_dad]

I just had to do it....submit a homepage picture after cleaning up the beetles....

That is too awesome Antione

If we got a chance to vote on homepage photos, you would get my vote! Awesome job!

Justin - I'm kind of ashamed about the lighting in the picture.
We finished up cleaning the cars just after noon and this is the East side of my house...so I didn't get the sun to work for me the way I wanted to...I think I missed it by 1 hour at least.
Oh well, when you are "daddy" sometimes you have to do it when you have the time. LOL

[Beetlemania]

That's a great shot, even with the terrible lighting!

I've had to take photos under midday sun before. Even when you're not daddy sometimes things just happen whenever they can.

When I saw this car at Roswell this year the first words out of my mouth were "Only Antoine would mod a Power Wheels car!" Honestly, I had to rack my brain and try to remember if the Power Wheels was ever sold like that "stock" or not...Great job!

Totally awesome. This makes me want to mod one out so I can have a mini-bobby to drive around to mess with people.

nice man!! I’m about to have a boy this or next week... so in a couple of years I’ll be doing the same but in red to match my car

[marvins_dad]

It CAN be done! If you devote the time to it.
I had him out learning how to drive it yesterday afternoon.
2 was a little young for this large of a version...the smaller 1 seater would have been fine for a 2 year old.

[iluvmyVersa08]

[jazzcat]

should pick up a non dune and paint it to look like your car

how did the tires hold up to painting them?

[marvins_dad]

They don't hold up so well.
I should try Jacob's suggestion - to try the bedliner stuff or something like that.
I emailed one of the suppliers for replacement wheels for powerwheels, but they didn't make my style in black or I would have replaced them with black in a heartbeat.

Side walls have held up better than the treads...before I took it to Roswell, I just resprayed the treads and sidewalls where they had rubbed off.

Don't think I have the energy to paint another. LOL I have a hood I need to learn how to repaint...and door panels to re upholster.
