The Flower Flyer started as a re-build. My wife had found a rusted coaster wagon in someone’s trash and dragged it home. I built a body for it and painted it green. Phillip made a stencil and painted Flower Flyer on the sides. It was a pretty thing.
But the outdoor storage was hard on it and it developed dry rot. Time for a new body. I was sure that I had a picture of it but cannot find it. After I took it apart, I took a picture of the body as it was.
Using a sheet of 3/4 inch plywood and higher 1×6 pine sides, I built the new body. This time I put scuppers in it so the body would drain better. I used brass screws to reduce the rust and the start of rot. I also treated all of the parts with linseed oil and pine tar before assembly. Here is the new Flower Flyer.
