Default Clown Car?

Anyone have one? or have ideas on building/buying one?

Nothing I really "need," but it would be fun for parades when I don't want to unicycle or Stiltwalk in it...

There was a company at the last couple of COAI conventions that had a number of different bodies for adult go carts for parades. I don't have my past convention information handy and I don't remember the name of the company at the moment but I think that you could Google custom go carts and you might come up with something.

I actually have a running kart that is earmarked for a clown car body. I figure I can make a body our of wood or tin...just a matter of getting it done, and I don't have much space to work.

Sooner or later though...

Jobee... No.. Its a King Midget Itwas a type of car produced between 1946 and 1970 by the Midget Motors Corporation. Claud Dry and Dale Orcutt first sold the King Midget as part of their Midget Motors Supply operations in Athens, Ohio.

After looking at the picture it seems to me that one of those companies that modify golf carts would be able to whip something similar up in a jiffy.
