32 Sedan Soapbox

Intro: 32 Sedan Soapbox

I built this soapbox to compete in the 2010 'Hotrod Hayride' soapbox derby where we were beaten in the semi-final and later in the same year at Goodwood where we only made it to the quarter finals but won the trophy for best cart and also for most money raised for charity.  It is built from Walnut, Ash and Ash veneered plywood.  I used 16 inch BMX wheels with the all important white-wall tyres.  It has a single disc brake with miniature track rod ends and a formula Ford steering wheel.  Photo of latest version now uploaded.

Thanks very much for all the kind comments, I like your cart ozy1970. Sorry it wasn't much of an instructable it was my first. Building another virtually identical for a customer, I have taken photos at every stage plus I am going to produce a set of plans. I also have an order for another 20% larger but roadster body and another identical to the prototype, so looks like I might be quite busy for a while!

All the best

Plans for the chassis and body have been produced in Autocad and will be supplied as a PDF via email which can be printed out full size by a local High Street print 'n copy shop. The instructions are a Word document also supplied as an email attachment. Step by step photos of the build-up are available as an online album. Details of steering, axles brakes are supplied as a 'sketch page' showing a couple of versions as most people will have their own ideas/skills for this part of the build.

The BIN price on ebay is £30 but if anyone in the Instructables community would like a copy the price would be reduced to £25

Thanks for your interest

Pete

[ayounghorn]

[Trblmkr1404]

I am trying to figure out what type of wood did you use for the Grill Surround, the chassis, the framing and what is the height of the person this was built for?

[kswanner]

I sent $32.67 to that email address through PayPal about a week ago and I still haven't received anything yet. What is taking so long.

My email address is [e-mail]

Gidday mate, just wondering whether you were still selling the plans for this cart?
I'd love to buy a set to make my little fella.
