Racer pedal car

i have a old racer pedal car but i really don't like the front nose
and lot other details , so i decided to work on it!

this is the ugly nose!

this is the too long nose!

i cut around 30 centimeters!

i design the new grill , they look like model A ford

this look very different than the old ugly one

i design a cap radiator in brass

make new rear fender , because last one  have too much rust and bando

i m not specialist of upholstery so i take a old citroen "ds" seat for make my seat !

yes racer for sure and the date of the new creation!

the new rust patina give real good effect , and put the number on it

this is final work

Judez pedal car restauration and patina

   yes  again a Judez pedal car model alfa romeo racer....
   i make new trim on hoode side and make new grill and new gas cap.
   all in aluminum, so i create some tools special for the gas cap end the grill.
   i use my pullmax machine for the grill.

   i restore a pedal car its cool but, new paint  brooking the feelings of age!                                                                                                  
   so i try to create a patina for give more  vintage effects

               this was the original front of the car, no bad , no good , but i prefer rebuilt all

                 the nose of the judez completly planishing , for this operation ,
                 there is no place for hammer and dolly 
                 so i cut the front drive system for working more easy

                              i make new trim and new grill with my nibbler pullmax p21

this was the simple tool, i make it with regular wood and use a good press for block it

                                          all the aluminum parts are polished
   

                   yu can see the patina , this look really like a original old paint
