I can't help it! Often, when I see something, I picture what it would look like customized. This has given me some kuul projects in the past; scallops on my '65 121, my 221 with Moon (like) hubcaps, the Maxi chopper, the wide handlebars on my '54 DKW, several bicycle modifications, and loads of other stuff.
That's why, acouple of weeks back, I spend a week customizing a toy scoot-cart for my nieces - one biological and one not. I got the idea, when I had to make the gift certificate for Ziva's baptism; a Brio "gåvogn", flat black with flames, horn, Wunderbaum and a antenna with a fox tail. And now my littlebrother has become a farther too, so Ellen has to have one as well.
Therefore I started the project "Dobbelt dåbsgave" (dual baptism gifts) on a monday night - to customize two Brio carts in a week! First day was spend finding two Brio carts, so I drove through Copenhagen, picking up the first, which was fine and useable, and the second, which was free, but not useable.
But they had a much older cart, I bought also - the girls has to have a plaything at their uncle Dannerrs place! And it looked kuul, so I took it with me.
Next day I bought the second one and painted both flat black.
Wednesday is Pirates night, so thursday night I painted flames on the carts and assembled them again, adding all the extras along in the process.
Saturday morning I handed over the first cart to it's rightfull owner, and it seemed to be approved from the get-go!
Keep 'em kruzin!
Dannerr
