Not much time this weekend due to the running and jumping of little feet. However, I got the tires and wheels put together with the help of 8 year old Skyler. I bought to 1.25" caps to finish the wheel attachment to the axle, and did some research on foamcore/gatorboard for the custom body exterior. Special credit to Pete Luiz (Petey) who walked by my desk, saw the photo of the frame and suggested the lightweight foamcore for the outside body. Gator board is much sturdier than foamcore but costs about 3 times as much at Walser's Art Supply. Online is cheaper.
Scrap PVC makes good beach toys or an erector set for kids.
