Ugly bagger
« on: May 25, 2017, 06:39:51 AM »
I'm an Occupational Therapist and take my equipment with me into poeple's homes.  I have these old amazingly skookum boxes intended to equalize to negative pressure and then maintain the vacuum for air travel into combat zones.


I'm not a fan of the ammo can bagger but these strike me as SO ugly they may actually come full circle and be charming.


I will post daytime photos tomorrow


Just keep in mind I am an old army mechanic and try to do my builds as cheap as possible, junkyards, spare parts, etc

That's possibly the least unusual character trait possessed by a member of this site. :giggles

If time permits I would like to get started this weekend, I've already installed twin round headlights and I found a Corbin seat in a junk yard and stripped it to bare foam I am wanting to wrap the seat in a Mexican blanket (I've always loved the look/feel/ durability in car interiors) does any one have any recommendations on water sealing the foam and perhaps blanket, whilst preventing excessive sweating( I live in Arizona and will likely put 50-100 miles on it throughout the day and would rather not show up at patients houses having sweat through my pants)?


I will take some pictures as I go along and all feedback is appreciated.
