My new project

I saw this chair on a car show made of rims, and i decided to get three rims and make it. It took 1 hours of grinding/sanding to clean up the rims, very rusty and had many coats of paint, and 20 minutes of welding and bam, i got chair. Has any1 seen the chair i am talking about. I am going to paint it chrome and put a swievel padded seat on it. Pics to come soon. And oh yeah, i got the rims for free and have a couple more rims. I am considering to make a coffee table out using rims.
