Making the brakes

So now it came time to build the brakes. I had this design in my head for a while so it wasnt a big deal to make. Just had to find all the wood i need for it.

I took a pair brakes off an old bike i found and installed into the soapbox car. I had to make a few adjustment cause they werent designed to fit into soapbox car, but it worked out.

I bought a new line wire cause i had to cut the old one in order to remove them form the bike. Plus they were old nd i didnt trust them to work.

All together everything worked out great. You just push down on the lever and the brakes stop the back wheel. At least i hope it does.

making the chair

So after building the wooden chasir i decided to add some comfort to it.so i bought some foam tube used for kids when they going swiming in pools. which only cost me 2 dollars and cut it up in piece's to make the edges for the chair and the design in the middle. Then i used this foam in a can to spray in and around the chair to fill the spaces to complete the chair. then i had to shave it down till it was even all over.It all took about two hours to do.
