There are alot of HotRod wagon's out here at the Pomona Swapmeet. This swapmeet happens about every month and a half for the past 25 years. It's a huge Hotrod,VW ,custom car,Pre 1975 event. You can find anything you can imagine and a few things you can't! It's F-N huge so every one drags around a wagon to carry the parts that they found ! Mac even has a Minibike booth ! Wagons are so popular several vendors have booths with all sorts of Hotrod parts to make your own wagons !

I made mine with a cut down front and rear end from a lawn tractor and a 5hp briggs the frame is just bed frame angle iron. Its a bit flexy but that makes a bit of suspention for it.

check out Motorized Wagons designed by THE WAGON WORKS. That is where I intend to buy my plans from.

i'm thinking of making one of these too - do you guys think the rear end from an old honda 90cc three wheeler would work well for this project - they already have a disc brake set up on them, don't they??

these are some cool wagons i found while doing some research

Here's something a little different than the wagons, but still in the same frame of mind. The tub is from a wheelbarrow.
