Thought I would share my cool Lunchbox. May not be everyone's taste, but I love how it shows this thing's history!

The only thing missing is 70+ Vanessa at the wheel. :twisted:

You guys are twisted!! :lol: :twisted:

I like the rat rod box you have.. it looks very interesting and different... maybe do something with the wheels to go with the body work.. :mrgreen:

Thanks for the replies. Do you have a suggestion for the wheels? Thanks. More projects to come!

I would say maybe some nice chrome or black wheels.. I know the "patina" look is popular with the older German car crowd and they run nice clean wheels.. At least paint the wheels instead of the stock yellow.. I have seen where the are guys who did the distressed look on wheels as well but IMHO, that may be too busy.. :mrgreen:

how about some "Moon" covers? Y'know the brushed aluminum disc wheelcovers used in the 60's/70's and still used on bonneville cars?

You could make some out of the bottom of soda cans pretty easy
