dont know if this is the right place to post, so here goes, am in the process of building a trans am power wheel for my oldest and figured i have 2 boys so ill need to make another one for him and was wondering if any other f-body parents would be interested in such an item, im a pontiac fan but not that much harder to make a camaro body style as well, will be a fiber glass body, can custom paint to match mom or dads color/design, and a few other things, but was just seeing if anyone was interested, cuz im not buying my boys a mustang power wheel id rather spend twice as much making one,

 

No interest in purchasing one what so ever ( no kids...and Im too heavy). But all Im sayin is if you go through with it you better post pictures!!!! haha.

Sounds like a great idea, and if youre good with glass, Im willing to bet you could sell atleast a handful of them. Especially if you color match to the full sized versions!

Good luck!

that would be awesome I wanna see some pics, they made like a 100 turbo trans am's back in the day I think they were peddle though there worth a fortune now

 

I would love one (depending on the price) and I don't even have kids and once I do have Kid you Know i'll be getting one if you still got 'em and you BETTER post pics!!!

 

perfect for my daughter to be id love to get her one! count me in

 

I wanna see what kind of time slip they can get at a track.

Don't have any kids myself, but that would be cool.

 

Count us in as well, when you get a price in mind, let us know, thanks.

Tabatha and Justyn

 

I don't have kids but I think that would be great idea!

 

no kids yet for me either but i wanna see this, SUBSCRIBE

 

I don't have kids... But i'll take one for my self. LOL

 

Count me in please let us know the details

 

Let me know the price as well... My daughter drools over the power wheels mustang at wal-mart... I had thought about getting her the disney princess pontiac solstice... but a T/A would be perfect... are you thinking of building it frame up or just get a power wheel and mold the body onto a exsisting body.. just thinking if its frame up.. what would keep you from using a small go cart frame... "fastest power wheel on the block"

 

Please post progress pictures.. any updates?? I gotta see this..

 

This would be so cool!!!
How much Are you lookin fo for a body?
My daughters(3 and 4) go crazy for 2 things My camaro and The new Bumblebee from Transformers. They want me to paint my car like him so bad. i would just love to get one of these painted like him for them they would go nuts.

 

you're kidding right? i ask because i had one when i was younger,(my mom bought it for $20 at a pawn shop). i no longer have it because for some reason one day my dad decided to give it away (along with some other things of mine) to a coworkers son. i was pissed, i was like 11-12 at the time and to be honest i still am (20 now)


back on topic i would like one, depending on price. my 2yr old loves power wheels, but i cant find any I want to buy him. they no longer make the silverado, and i dont really want to get him a corvette. not getting him a mustang either.

 

i would love to get one if you go throught with it my fiance thinks that our duaghter needs a mustang but she is never going to drive a ford i need to get her a camrao ive alredy got her a third gen but she isnt gunna be driving it for a while

 

strange that this thread should come up. I'm building a gas powered powerwheels, but mine is a truck. Its really old, we've had it laying around since I last drove it as a 4 yr old. (now 17) I got really inspired by this video on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cM2SW...eature=channel
for my project I'm building a square tubing frame to mount the powerwheels body onto. basically a small go kart with a plastic body. what are you using for an engine? don't say you're going battery powered, that's no fun. also, you'll probably want a differential so you can turn, have you thought about what you'll use for that?

 

That youtube video is the Sh*T!!!! Looks like alot of fun!!

 

my boys would love a maro!

 

i have kids that love camaros! i would love to see one, and maybe get one, or two.

 

I can't count myself among them (no kids), but there's a lot of people who would buy those for their kids. Good idea. Please post pics.

 

ok, i don't have many pictures right now, but here's a teaser i guess.

 

just checking did you ever make a trans am power wheel body?

 

Good question but the OP hasn't had any activity on here since 2013 according to his profile info.

 

Yea, I would bet that the majority of the projects like this never happen, and when they do the cost is too high to mass-produce on any level. Between the current inflation (materials) and what my time is worth I know what I would have to charge for custom stuff like this (I used to do custom fabrication at a speed shop, I probably know about both what kind of work would go into it and what pricing would have to be like to not end up upside down than most), and I know that unless I had a bunch of cheap and quality labor (people learning...) with a lot of time on their hands it would be just about impossible to do at anything approaching a price that 90% of the people that get really excited about things like this would spend/be able to spend.

 

I totally want a 3rd gen Camaro power wheel for my son

 

Well, then, I reckon you'd best git to building one, , , , this is a 15 year old thread, started by a poster who hasn't again posted about the idea since 2008......

 

I guess he's been hard at work on the prototype, and hasn't had time to post.

 

ive seen this one. dunno if its "power wheels" size but still cool. i dont have a kid but always thought about getting one as wall art. the guy i think also does frames but everytime i go on the site it always says "out of stock"

Curious as to how this went and if you have one available?

 

IN before OrangeBird!

 

(I do think it was a great idea, too bad nothing ever came of it)
