Repurposed Roller Skate Heavy Hauler Truck

Hey folks! Here's my latest repurposed vintage roller skate truck. It's the first one I've done with a double axle in the back. It's all got a mix of skates, brass, silverplate and other mixed small parts that I soldered together.
The cab is from a vintage Structo toy truck. The bumpers are faucet handles. The fenders are brass napkin rings. The piece in the back is a vintage take-apart baking tin with soldered metal sticks along the side. The rest is a mix of different small parts to give it more character. I hope you like it!

    Very cool ! I have 2or 3 pair of the old metal skates that you need a key to adjust them to your size and shoe...they'd really look sweet on that body !
