10. To make sure the bed is sturdy, use 5 inch lag bolts through the 2 x 4s and into the wall stud. Start by pre-drilling holes and then tightening the lag bolts by hand (Figures T & U).
11. Next, attach the plain ATV form to the wall using the stud marks with screws (Figure V). Then, secure the stenciled ATV form to the frame with the stenciled side facing out (Figure W).
12. The rest of the car goes together like a jig saw puzzle. Each of the pieces was cut from a template, and each piece is screwed into place (Figures X & Y).
13. To add wheels to the ATV bed, start by screwing castors onto the bottom of the wheels (Figures Z & AA).
Be sure to pre-drill the holes into the hubcaps so they won’t crack when driving in the screws (Figures CC & BB).
Finally screw a hinged bracket to the bed leg and into the tire, so that the tire can swing out to allow the trundle bed to slide out from underneath the ATV (Figures DD & EE).
