Adult Power Wheels Part 1- Chop & Stretch
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 พ.ย. 2018
- I'm taking a child's 12 volt F150 Power Wheels and making it into an adult 48 volt F250 Power Wheels. This will be a multi-part series over the next several months. In this video, we chop and stretch the body to make it a crew cab. Filmed with the iPhone 7 on the iPhone camera stand. Logo design by Brandon Kettle. Logo music is "Sour Tennessee Red" by John Deley. Video music is "Granite", "Taking a Beating", "Rise", Demilitarized Zone" and "Heavyweight" all by Ethan Meixsell.

Would be great to see a part 2. Did enjoy seeing the template out of wood
I hope to finish it someday. I had a friend that was going to assist with welding, and work changed for him, and it never worked out. Hopefully one day I will be able to complete it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great video, Andy. Love the project. Love the bluppers.
Bloopers are hilarious!
I LOVE THE IDEA! I was just thinking about that! I hope it worked
I have never finished it but hope to someday. Thanks!
Good job dude
Thanks so much!
Would love to see more of this series. My nephew is special needs and is too big for Power Wheels but does not have the motor skills for a go-kart. I was trying to figure out something I could build/modify for him and really like the idea of the riding mower as the base for this build. Thanks and good luck with the rest of the build.
Nick, thank you for watching and leaving this nice comment! This is one of those builds that was put on the back shelf and has never been continued. I do hope to finish it some day though. My friend is a master metal fabricator and volunteered to help me build a custom tube chassis in place of the lawn mower base. We have just never gotten together since then to get it done. From experience with some of my my friend's power wheels builds, these things can go upwards of 20 mph, so in essence they are a go cart. You may be able to gear them down or use less batteries for a slower and safer option though. Well, thanks again, and I hope you find a good option for your nephew.

Is an update in the near future...
You sir are a hero
Wow, thanks Brett! I don't know about hero though. I hope to be back on this build soon and have another installment. I'm really excited to see the finished build. Thanks again for the kind words and the view!
105 subs when u made this and 2.02k when i watched this Goodjob keep up the good work
Hey, thank you so much! I am truly blessed that there are that many people who care what I do. Thanks for the comment and the encouraging words!
Did this ever get built?
Nathan, it is still like it was when this video was shot. I hope to be back on it soon. Planning to go a bit different on the chassis. Planning on building a custom tube chassis. Waiting on assistance from a fabricator who has volunteered to assist. Stay tuned. Thanks
Happy birthday day tinkers lady
I’ll tell her you said that. Thanks for watching!
hell yeah guy! earned my subscription really fast.
Thank you so much! It has been a while since this video came out, and I am anxious to continue this project. Please be patient on this one. I have big things in store for this truck. Plans have changed since part one. Think custom tube chassis and golf cart steering components... Stay tuned! Thanks again.
@@thetennesseetinkerer Look into www.gopowersports.com/ many other youtubers have used parts from gopower for projects similar to yours. They sell go kart and outdoor motorsport parts
Would really love to see an update on this project. I read in another comment that this just ended up on the back burner, I think it’d be really cool if you pulled it back out! Id love to see the finished product at some point
Daniel, first off, thanks for the watch and the comment. I'd really love to finish this project, and have every intention of doing it some day. However, it will need some pretty extensive welding to make the chassis, a skill I don't currently possess. My friend who was going to assist in that portion has never been able to find time in his busy schedule to help. This is not the last you will see of this project, but I don't really know when it will resume. Thanks again.
Ty for this! !!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
I can’t wait for part 2 !!!!! If you were In St. Louis I would finish it for you !!! 😊
Thank you James. It has been on hold for several years now. I really want to finish it some day. I decided against using the lawnmower chassis, but have not gotten the courage up or the skill needed to weld a tube chassis. Hopefully one day I will. Thanks for the kind words.
I love you videos, man. You have a really good sense of timing and editing. You Kettle boys were always good at creative projects. I do wish I was in town more so I could guest star sometime.
First time to your channel. And this video didnt disapoint. Such a fun project. Is it finished??
Loved the outtakes aswell 🤣👍
Thanks Philip! Unfortunately, this video is as far as I ever got with the build. I have a fabricator friend who was willing to help me build a custom tube chassis, but all these years later, we still have not done it. One day I hope to finish it. I really appreciate the view and the comment!
Did you make a second part video for this?
No I did not. Hopefully one day I will. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
@@thetennesseetinkerer noooo, this looks so cool . I was hoping to see what it looked like when you finished.
This is badass but do u think maybe you could of used fiberglass with some wood support every 5 or so inches it would make it lighter but by all means badass video I am now a fan liked and subscribed
Thanks Rudy! I would be afraid that if it flexed, the fiberglass may crack. I will probably cover the wood with fiberglass though. This thing is going to be pretty heavy as it is, so I'm ok with a little more weight to gain strength. Thanks so much for watching, subscribing, and commenting!
Found this and you Kreg jig video tonight. Greeting from Sevierville!
Ronny, thanks so much! We are your middle TN cousins from Clarksville. The wife and I were just in Sevierville a couple months ago. That area has always held a special place in our hearts. I appreciate you checking out the videos. I have over 60 currently, and always adding more. Check out the other ones, and let me know what you think! Thanks again.
Why no part two? 😭
@@thetennesseetinkerer hear from Chattanooga. We go to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg at least once a year sometimes multiple times a year to enjoy unfortunately I go by myself once sometimes twice a month for work and I hate that, seeing everybody else have fun and me working LOL
Did you ever finish the power wheels f150 adult build you where working on
Dwayne, I did not finish it. This video is as far as I have gotten. I hold out hope that one day I will finish it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Are you still working on this?
Thanks for the view and comment! This is still very much a project in my shop, however, it is sort of on the back burner for now. I have a friend who is a master fabricator, and he has volunteered to help me construct a custom tube chassis for this. He started his own business that has really taken off, plus the whole covid thing, and just life in general has delayed this for now. Hopefully soon I can resume this build. Sorry it took so long to respond to your comment. I was out of town when you left it. Well, thank you again, and hopefully it won't be too long before I have another installment.
Howdy frum Kingston TN did you stop on your rig ?
I am a Clarksville native. We come through your neck of TN a couple times a year going to UT games and Pigeon Forge. I haven't done a thing on it since that initial video a couple years ago. I hope to get back to it soon. Thanks for the comment!
Would love to see a part 2😔
Me too. I have not done any work on this project since the first video came out. Some day it will continue. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@thetennesseetinkerer hey I'm planning on doing this but I have a mustang power wheels
That I'd like to stretch and long so I can fit in it
Any ideas I'm thinking 🤔 about cutting the frame and extending it with wood to make it longer idk any ideas tho
Now it’s 2.29k
Growing every day! I am extremely blessed. Thanks for the view and comment!
So hey I've been thinking about doing this with my power wheels mustang it's to small for me
What do u recommend for me to do? Should I get a rider lawnmower chassis how do u get the lawnmower small like how does the ford power wheels fit did u shorten the chassis I'm planning on doing this but what do u recommend?
Sorry I took so long to respond. I never have finished my build. It is on hold for now. I decided to not use the lawn mower chassis. I will build a chassis from scratch hopefully when I finish mine. Some people use a gocart chassis. Regardless of what method you use, shortening or lengthening any chassis will require some major welding skills. Good luck with your build and thanks for watching and commenting!
so.... it's been 2 years. what happen to the power wheels?
It is still sitting in my shop at the stage you see it in the video. It has been put on hold, but I hope to resume building it soon. When I do, I will be sure to get a video out as soon as I can. Thanks for the comment.
Can't find part 2 😢
There is no part two yet unfortunately. Hopefully some day it will be revived. Thank you for watching and commenting.
did you ever finish this?
Not yet. It still looks like it did in this video. I hope to get back to it some day. Thanks for commenting!
U could have used fiber glass
Wound b faster n would look better
If I ever get around to finishing this, I will probably skin the stretched section in fiberglass. Thanks for the comment.
You cut out the cup holders. Whats gonna hold your beer?
William, me being a Tennessee boy, you can rest assured I will add back in a beer holder! Thanks for the view and the comment!
Where’s part 2????
No part 2 yet. Some day I hope to finish, but it is on hold for now. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hello there. Hope you are well. Was wondering if you finished the truck. Maybe you can help me make one cause power chairs cost too much. Hope we can get in contact
I never have finished it. It is still at the same level it was in this video. I hope to finish it someday. Power wheels are not a substitute for power chairs. I pray that you can find a way to get the mobility device you need. Thanks for the comment!
@The Tennessee Tinkerer they may not be a replacement for a chair but it's something I can afford and create easier than buying and easier to maintain. Goodluck on your project. Mines is coming along nicely. Will be zipping around soon
Part 2?
No part 2 yet. I'm waiting on a friend of mine who is a master fabricator who has volunteered to help me build a custom tube chassis. He has been very busy with his business, and we haven't gotten together yet. I'm hoping soon. Thanks for watching and commenting!
where are the rest of these videos
Stephanie, so far this one is the only one in the series. I still plan on completing this, but I have just been delayed in resuming it. I have a master fabricator that is willing to help me make a custom tube chassis, and we have not been able to get together on it yet. I hope to have another installment soon. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nooooo... Where's part 2?
I haven't done anything to this build since the first video. I have it paused right now waiting on a friend who has volunteered to help build a tube chassis. One day you will see a part two. Thanks for commenting and watching!
Amazing! Nice video. When will you have part 2?
Thanks for the comment! I am hoping to have more segments coming out soon. Since this video posted, I have had an offer from a master welder and fabricator to help me build a custom chassis! I am waiting on him to get free. In the mean time, I will probably start posting some work on other parts of the build. Thanks again, and I hope you stay tuned!
@@thetennesseetinkerer Thank you for replying.After watching your video I bought two F150s to modify. They are super small 50 in. x 26.5 in. I already have the controller, motor and throttle. Will wait a little bit for batteries. From your video, I am super curious about how will you do the body work.. fiberglass???? I'll wait to see. Best wishes.
My initial thought was to use sheet acrylic or PVC that was the same thickness, heat it, and bend it to the contour. I have also thought about fiberglass. Still haven't settled on a method. Thanks again!
There is only one vid??
So far. I've had to pause the build to wait on my fabricator friend who is going to help me build a custom tube chassis. Hopefully will resume soon. Thanks for watching!
Where’s part 2
Have not made a second one yet. I have a friend who is going to help me build a custom tube chassis, and he has been really busy. Hope to have something soon. Thanks for watching!
This part looks good, but we’re gonna just throw it out
I'm not sure what that means, but thanks for the comment and view. I hope to eventually get back to the project. Thanks again.
I really enjoy these types of videos, I was just trying to make a light- hearted joke about everything that was stripped
Ahh I see now. I kept all the parts in a box, however, most probably won't get reused. There is too much plastic in the existing pieces to hold my big butt, so I plan on recreating them in something a bit stronger. Thanks.
I thought this was a good video. Its kinda whack that there is no part 2
No part 2 yet... I plan on finishing the build, but it has been on hold for a couple of years. Hopefully you will see some progress soon. Thanks.
I could do without this music
I guess you can't please everybody. Thanks for the view.
Of course you can't. But you can accept feedback.
Why only do one video and its seems you think its all goid to hide your full comolete built or you just like scamming the viewers and that means you let everyone dont without showing any part of videos if you going to built them as no point showing one part chopping and joining but everyone needs to see your full comolete videos and stop hiding lies the at end of this video keep blurring out for someone reason so that means ya made up bs excuses
Michael, I think I understand what you are saying in your comment, but to tell you the truth, the grammar and spelling were so very bad, it’s hard to be sure. I believe you are upset that there is no follow up videos to this build. Or maybe you think there are but I’ve done something to hide them or scam you in some way? Again, your writing is very hard to interpret. Well assuming I understand correctly, I will tell you that where this project ended up in the video is where it currently sits. I have never done any more to it. Someday I hope to, but I don’t know. I put these out for fun, and I don’t really need to. Most people enjoy watching them, but I’d suggest that if it bothers you so much, watch someone else’s videos instead. Or better yet, you could build your own version of this and post it for others to critique.
