Heres what I did for my little boy while my car is down

 

Very nice job! And I'll bet your son likes it too. At least you are capable of carpentry, I can't saw a board straight to save my butt! Maybe put some IROC stickers on to match dad's car?

 

Thanks! Im a carpenter tho. My car is debadged, no stickers

 

So are the lights real or reflectors?

 

hahaha thats awesome!

 

Just stick-on reflectors. Wheels are really chrome plates tho... j/k. Used a can of "chrome" paint, worked pretty good actually!

 

Just curious again, but what would a queen size cost? In bright red with IROC decals in silver. No I'm just kidding, My GF would kill me.

 

^^^

 

Dude my daughter wants one but in pink though.

Good job Spike-Z.

Tony.

 

thats great, I've always wanted one of those as a kid. Still do

 

brilliance. i know my next project. a gta bed.

 

This is awesome it looks like my white convertible RS.

It looks really well made. I'm sure your son thinks it's great too.

 

Wow, thats nice, the bed looks cool too! LOL jk, great job. Now just add something to make an idle, rev and burnout sound from your car and he can have a "running" car bed.

 

im 23 years old and I'd still sleep on it

 

I would sleep in such a bed now, if i could fit.

 

Some dimensions PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

 

LOL! Thats great!

I don't have kids, but if I get bored this winter my dog might get a new bed

 

pop up night lights on the gta bed. ill do it someday.

 

Sides are made from 3/4" MDF. 8' long by 22" height at the rear quarter panel.

Center pieces (front and back) are 40 1/2". Which makes the whole bed 42" wide when assembled with the sides. Center pieces are made from 5/8" MDF.

If you need anything specific, just ask me. I can always measure it back for you guys.

 

Looks great. I don't think it would be very good in the "air" though, JK. Lucky kid.

 

it looks really good.
i would have loved having something like that when i was a kid.
i also like the "tool box" look of the chest of drawers.

i know its more work, but i have a couple of suggestions.
you could make the hood open for extra storage. inside put a bottom board that sits on top of the license plate opening. you can use a light duty strut similar to the hatch struts to keep it open.
make the areas beside the license plate opening into drawers.
on the sides between the tires, add a couple of short, wide drawers along the bottom to mimic ground effects.

 

man ive got so many extra parts laying around i could use real turn signal housings and side markers and even some headlights(have a spare headlight bar)

it would be sweet to make one out of a bunch of real parts

good job

 

Great job!!

Before you know it he'll be cruising for babes!! LOL!!

 

Those are very good ideas man. Tho, considering the time frame I had building this, I couldnt go deep into complexity. Maybe Ill build a more complex car for my daughter when she will be ready for her big girl's bed. An Audi TT, Mini... you know, something girly. haha
My wife seems pretty dead set on a princess's bed tho, castle type or something... we will see I guess!
Thanks for the comments!

 

 

looks awesome.....now you need to make a bunk bed with a bird up top

 

That's outstanding. Definitely more creative than the typical kid's car bed.

 

Thanks Jim,
I gotta agree with you there, most beds I saw were cheaply made and had no front/rear end. Wheels were decals or 10" plastic rims. I reached my goal, my son sleeps about 1 more hour in the morning and hes in a hurry to go to bed at night! Pus he thinks Im cool
