Dad helps 5-year-old son soup up Lightning McQueen toy car

Five-year-old Evan has the coolest ride in town — thanks to his creative dad.

Evan's dad, Sean, saw that his son's Lightning McQueen Power Wheels race car, with its worn-out plastic wheels, was in need of an upgrade. He chronicled the father/son project of souping up the tyke-sized vehicle on YouTube.

Plastic wheels are so 2009.

Sean, who goes by seanatfftec on YouTube — he works at FFTEC Motorsports — describes the project:

"At the age of 2 Evan received his Lightning McQueen Power Wheel for Christmas of 2009. After three years of use he had worn through the plastic wheels. We decided to upgrade the oem plastic wheels to metal rims with rubber tires. From that point more modifications were added every few weeks. Now, Evan's Lightning McQueen Power Wheel is equipped with an aluminum back half chassis, dual sealed gel batteries with an output of 24 volts, a 500 watt .66 horsepower electric motor, disk brake, throttle modulated variable speed control with reverse and sparco battery cutoff switch."
