The baggage carrier....

Found one of those old baggage carriers that they used at railroad stations here in Sweden a looong time ago, it was full of bird poo, moss, rust and other strange stuff after many years behind a shed. Hmmm looks like something usable so I went to town with a wire brush removing years of crud, now it just needed some new tires and whith the wheels off I painted them Hot Rod Red, fitted chromed domed nuts and for the hell of it a set of 70's Metallflake grips and a Malteese Cross taillight. Turned out quite the lawn ornament.....

Hot Rod Smallframe...

The grind!!!! Started to do some sanding of the filled holes in the body and found that this thing does not have a square inch that's not dented, it has been repainted several times before, thick layers of bondo and even bathroom caulking has been used so now I'll sand it down to bare metall and leave it dented as is, let Max have at it with his pinstriping sword, paint the inside of the fender & engine compartment bright red or something and cover it all with Ankor Wax. I will move away slightly from the Salt Flats look and steer it more towards Hot Rod with a 39 Ford taillight, Moon Discs, Mexican blanket upholstery and some other Hot Rod touches.....
