Toddler Flintstone Car

Step 6 Project Complete!

The last step was to add detail to the car. I painted the ends of the log sides to simulate wood grain and touched up any imperfections on the car.

The entire project took me about three weeks with most of the work accomplished on Saturdays when my oldest daughter was in town. Most of the materials used were from scrap wood I had laying around. Since I fabricated this car from my imagination I ended up spending extra money experimenting with different materials and parts that did not work. Even with this I probably spent under $100 for the entire project.

This was nothing compared to the priceless expressions on my grandkids faces when they saw the car.

My next step is to make it electric and remote controlled...

Awesome work! My daughter may end up dressing as Pebbles for Halloween, and now I wonder if I will have enough spare time to build this!
