Sand box with seats for the grand kids.

Took a week of from the truck box and made a sandbox for my two grand kids.
Two little boys in Victoria. This is neat,My wife was in Denmark visiting her sisters for a couple of weeks and her brother inlaw had bought a kit and assembled it in the backyard for his grand kids.
She took a photo of it and I spent a day deciphering the picture then made one  myself.
Very clever those Danes and their Danish design.


Next week we will take it to Victoria and position it in the backyard and fill it full of sand.

It is made of 2x12 ,1x6 and some 4x4 and carrage bolts.

Trial fit for rear fenders




Bolted on the left rear fender to see how it looks. WOW! the Jag rear is sure narrow! I am using a set of Original Jag salt shakers,the ones that have all the small round holes that look like table salt shakers.
I have a Friend that has  a set of original Jag steel wheels that would look good and I can use my early 50,s Cadillac hubcaps,It would look fine except that the wheels are set in quite a bit. Looks more like stock wheel position.
At least I have room for after market wheels and I have a set of  Halibrand Speedways that I got years ago and the rears are wide so this will work,good summer wheels. I do plan on using this truck as a driver all year. Very little snow where I live  just a couple of times a year and it goes in a few days. Those days it can sit in the garage.
Once I get all this so it fits I will finish assembly of the box and it can go on for good. I will paint the truck with the box on,fenders off.
Thats it for now.
