First, I have been meaning to post these pics (they were taken 10/1/11 and I've neglected to take them off the digital camera for a while.
Anycase, one of my nephews recently turned 1. My wife got him one of those Little Tikes coupes. We pre-assembled it before the party. As a LAST minute thing, I had to be me and "customize it".
I think everyone here can appreciate my mod![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://montecarloforum.com/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)

And yes, that is a real badge. To be more specific, I believe it's from a purchase of badges I made from Frank back when he de-badged his Monte.
I'm amazed, I did this LAST minute (with next to NO time, as we had about an hour to get to the party). I scuffed the surface and used the 2-part epoxy mix and pressed it on. To this day, it's STILL holding. I warned my sister/brother in-law to keep an eye on it. They said the kids notice it, have touched it, but it's been holding fine.
There were other areas I wanted to place it (such as on the yellow part where it has a "Little Tikes" badge, but that badge would leave holes I'd have to cover), my problem was TIME. Last minute idea, not enough time to execute other options that might require fabbing something.
It did it's job, made people laugh and gave it a distinct touch to know who got him that gift

Thanks guys. I thought it was a funny mod to make, but fitting since it came from my wife and I.
I think we need a Flintstone's dyno to find out the HP. But right now I think the exhaust is restricted at the diaper!!
