Ride Details
What was the inspiration?
I have always wanted a wagon. My husband, Chad Smith had a vision and said let me handle the exterior paint, and you can do the interior. We partnered up and this is what we came up with. Most people say if you can build a house together your marriage will last. I say if you can build a bitchin' ride, your marriage will last! I wanted a ride that was all mine! Took his skills mixed with both our visions and and it became a reality. I wanted something not to feminine but enough to know it's owned and drivn by a female.
How long did it take you to build?
This wagon took about 6 months but then again I feel like that is not accurate because are we really ever done with a build.? I find myself adding things and coming up with ideas all the time to better her look.
How long have you been building?
My husband has been building for about 25 years and I just started helping more in the shop on projects about the last 5 years.

Your future plans?
I plan to continue making her beautiful and unique a little more every year. I love the hand engraved artwork by Krazy Kutting out of Arizona. Every chance I get I', ordering extra pieces here and there to keep her unique
Thanks to
My amazing, Chad Smith from Ace Towing and Steel Works for having the patience, skills, and vision to make this ride for me!

We did modify the roof installing a sliding ragtop purchased by Legacy Ragtops. The ragtop is 44" wide and 80" long! It give you the feel of riding in a convertible wagon! I love it!
