    This pedal car pays tribute to the company that I've worked at for the past 35 years. This colour scheme was created back in the late 70's and used by "Allan Christie's Body Shop" throughout the 80's.
    I've refinished/restored a number of pedal cars over the past several years but this one was by far the most involved project to date.
    The White "Lightning" on the hook was my first project
