That's a great idea; it's creative, and avoids copyright infringement lol.
It will look so good!

Your wife's logo is much more creative and better done but my vote is for the original logo only because that's what was and what people remember. I suppose either would work but I like original. The company will be thrilled that you built it.
I saw another one years ago that had a lawnmower engine underneath to slowly drive a wheel. You couldn't see it. It had an original looking wagon handle with a stiffened piece of rope tied to it and the other end to a little kid on his tricycle and "pulling" the wagon. Very cute.

Got hubs and dust caps painted. Still needs to cure a bit longer but I managed to get wheels on one side with caps in place. Did not drive them in yet just wanted to see how it looked. Not bad.
First weekend since I got the wagon no rain.

I was looking at a step and my wife ordered it for me as a surprise so that’s done now. It will make 3 equal 12” steps into the wagon.
The next thing is the logo. My man is drafting that now but we are still trying to figure out the placement. The kids wagon starts the logo just forward of the center line. On my wagon, the stake post are right in the middle of where the logo should go. But the center line of my wagon gives him 48” to work with. So I am leaning towards just centering the logo. It likely will look okay but probably will drive me nuts because I know it is wrong.
I swear, you would think this is some classic car the way I am fussing over it but at the end of the day it is just a wagon.
Anyway, weather permitting it should be done in the next few weeks.
