Powerwheels project

 My friend Jeremy got his daughter a powerwheels for christmas, but it came missing some parts. Instead of sending him the parts, they just sent a whole new car. He knew I love fixing/modding things, so he gave us the car. 

Here is the before picture of the car.


Our son has no issue with pink, but I decided a fun mod for the car would be to paint it with blackboard paint, so he could draw on it (to encourage art/creativity/etc)

So once I got a battery for it, and spliced some wires to make a custom connector, I started taping.

After it was all painted, you are supposed to "condition" the paint by coloring over the whole surface with white chalk.


After this was done, I decided to use a projector and draw some of his favorite characters on the car as a fun surprise to show that its chalkboard and he can do whatever he wants on it.



Hes been talking a lot about an imaginary movie that involves sonic and paw patrol working together (I'll be making the game adoption of this soon lol)

Ive got some more projects planned for the car, but wanted to let him enjoy it "as is" for a bit, so he can appreciate the mods I'll be adding (tablet mount/animated lights/music system/gps/etc)
