Oil Drum Car Concept

[SJR]

Had this Idea for a while now to use 55 gallon drums as materials to build a car from , maybe a open roadster, speedster type rig or??, I can get these drums for free from my work so the tin is easy to get, the barrels that had solvent in them as super clean inside and good for welding

 

[SJR]

the barrels are basically 2' wide by 3' tall good thick material

Anything is possible with some creative skills. Take this for example (boosted from nitroneal's build thread)

The concept model looks pretty good made out of TP rolls... Sooo, I have to ask, did the idea come up while sitting on the john ??

Well the TP concept looks cool, time to move to full scale (sonatube)
