Ever since I was a kid the Autopia ride at Disneyland was my favorite. I loved being able to drive a car at a very young age. In 2002 when Disney got rid of the “Corvette” style bodies I new I had to have one. My wife actually bought one for my birthday. I had it hanging in my garage for a few years until my kids bugged me enough to get too it and build a chassis. It was my first real welding/fab project. I built the frame out of square tubing. Bought a 13HP electric start engine. A brake system from a Quad. And assorted parts from Ebay etc. It does 30 mph now, way up from the 8 mph at Disneyland. I now drive it around my neighborhood and car shows the have cruises.
