I built this for my wife for Easter. For anyone who might like to build this or the original FG Pedal Car, I would like to offer the following suggestions.

1. Assemble the fenders, fender lip and fender mounting brackets as a sub assembly. Then mount the two fender sub assemblies to the body, after installing the seat sub assembly.
2. After mounting the body/hood to the chassis, install the instrument panel before mounting the seat sub assembly. If you mount the seat first, it makes it extremely difficult to get the panel allignned properly (trust me, I did it the hard way)
3. Adding the clear plastic to the windshield sandwich really makes a difference when mounting the windshield. It really is a breeze (pun intended)
4. Mount the windshield and steering wheel last. The headlights are difficult to mount and you might break/bend the steering wheel or windshield while gluing the headlights.

It was a fun build and my wife loved it. I included the Limerick that I wrote to go with it. The car was not yet finished when I took that picture.

I hope everyone did enjoy Easter. (I apologize for the picture orientation)
