During the cold Swedish winters when Hot Rod building become to much. I tend to relax by building a Kick-bike. This winter it developed to a Swap-meet stroller instead. 10 years ago i bought two small rubber wheels that had the right look, And finally i figured what to do with them. A Lance Sorchik picture was my inspiration. Paper is cheaper than steel, but i cut some steel anyway, Checked the stance with the wheels. Used some scrap parts to make my louver press. And did some training first. I needed something to cover the rear, so i made a Quick-change cover. Could be something. I made a handle to push it with, Test drive. Time for some paint. Matte black top coat. Made a dashboard to, the top is mounted on a hinge so you can put your beer cans inside. My grandchild took it out for a spin. A coupel of weeksa go i gave it to a friend of mine that is a master with the brush and he will put some line/text on it. Another funny thing is two weeks into the build i got a mail from Lance sorchik!! He wanted to know how i made my top to flow since he have a 33 roadster to. I had to show him the build and ask if it was OK to "copy" him. And he said it was OK. Small world isn't it ;-)
Picked up my Swapmeet stroller, from the pinstriper yesterday. Think he made an outstanding job. You can replace the carbonated water with the bewerage of your choice
Dont worry it will hold a sixpack. Themn you have to go to the refill point, keeps the wheels turning.
You, sir, are my new ruler! This is so flippin' cool that I can't come up with words for it! You built your own mini louver press!? Hello! Instant rock star status!
Bringing this one back from the dead because, well geez look at it! That mini louver press is awesome!
