Loving this swap meet cruiser. Combining old school fabrication with some modern tech makes fabrication a lot more fun and projects just turn out better.

Tim, i just wanted to let you know how much i appreciate your content. Believe it or not, 6 months ago i had never welded before. And from watching hours and hours of youe videos and practicing, i was able to take and PASS a weld test for structural in 1F, 2F, 3F and 4F. Thanks for all the great content.

[@TimWelds]

Thanks! Nice work!

[@israelgriffin585]

Awesome Built, keep up the good work.

[@donaldhalls2189]

Very useful, close to the ground, better stability, excellent job, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones

[@biggieb400]

Nice build Tim! Thanks for sharing the challenges along the way ;)

[@TimWelds]

Thanks! It was a fun little project!

[@Rack-n-RollSales]

I think the cut/stretch matches the Hot Rod theme. Well done!

[@DavidPlass]

Cool steering mechanism!

[@amcustomfab]

Love the stance.

[@eddymorra1403]

Amazing project. I really like the look😊

[@g.tucker8682]

Hod-Rodio Flyer Very fun!

[@HomineDomine]

Beautiful Fabrication, my friend. I discover your channel for a recommendation from one of my student in a Welding Course. Can you Share any pics of your Welding Cart Design?. Looks Great!. Greetings from Chile.

Very cool! About 10 years ago I built a very similar wagon for my kids with a laser cut frame and steering beam. I reused the skinny wheels up front but put 13 inch tires from a zero turn mower out back for that rat rod look.

[@TimWelds]

That sounds awesome!

[@ELECTRICEYE1776]

Nice job

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i am loving that same evolution saw. very cool project. very much enjoyed this. i would have went the other way! big aggressive golf cart tires. just a truck guy thing i guess.

[@TimWelds]

It’s a great saw. It’s a little slower with all the clamps, but the cuts are really accurate and worth the time. The big wheel version would be awesome, for sure!

[@justintasht1067]

Very cool I like that great job as always 👍👍

[@TimWelds]

Thanks 👍

[@kentowakai1234]

Imagine stanced and hydraulics,ooh and spinners

[@shawnjacobs4111]

That's a very cool build Tim. We never had those radio flyers in my country, so I sadly never grew up with them, but it looks like they're a lot of fun for the kids.

[@TimWelds]

Thanks a ton! They are a lot of fun, pretty handy too.

[@plasticbuzzardmodelshop9715]

Very nice.

[@CraigHollabaugh]

Giving the kids a ride makes it a Uber Wagon. Nice work.

[@TimWelds]

Thanks Craig!

[@MrScottgp]

where does the predator 212 go?

[@THOMASWHIFFEN]

Still would like to see a video on hard facing.

[@TimWelds]

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm planning out a set of tutorial videos, I'll be sure to put this one on the list.

Useless information :) My first German Shepherd came from a breeder (this was before the internet, and now I only adopt rescues. Also, did my research first. But anyway), and his name had to start with an 'R' because he was from the 'R litter. His official name was Landoleigh's Radio Flyer, with the Landoleigh being the breeder. Radio Flyer was because I was into amateur radio, flying (co-owned a 1964 Cessna 150-D at the time), and the dog in the movie Radio Flyer was a GSD. And I had a Radio Flyer wagon when I was a kid, so it all tied together. His household name was Anvil, thanks in part to the Wile E. Coyote cartoons. I had already picked that name before I got him. Pretty much the best dog ever, IMHO.

My dad's pure bred birding dog was named "Axel", from "A Litter", the mother's first litter. Curious if R Litter was the mother's 18th litter!

[@JCWren]

@@DSHPerotecH LOL, no! They'd been breeding for a number of years with different dogs. Anvil's dad was the #2 dog at Westminster one year, and mom was way up there. Gail (the breeder) could recite every dog's pedigree from memory since they'd started. Normally their pups were fairly expensive, but because Anvil was a long coated GSD and they show poorly, he was sold as a "pet quality" dog, and the stipulation was he had to be neutered. I was all for that since I don't need unplanned pregnancies :) And the reality is he was as good as any other high end dog in genetics, temperament, and hips and elbows. I had to let him go at the age of 13 due to DM (degenerative myelopathy). I was heart broken over that.
