here we have my 2nd hubcap guitar i have built. a few things have changed from my last design so here it is.The body is 2 hubcaps the first is a ford one from the 1940's which had a dodgey piece of welding on it so i cut it out and this now became the acoustic sound holethe 2nd one is a mystery chrome one off ebay (£3).the neck is a straight through hardwood broom pole £5 from MKM the left over pole that was cut off was cut in half and is used as bracing inside the hubcapsthe strings go through the base of the broom and these are being stoped from being pulled through by inset old brass guitar string ball ends.

That's very nice, but I'm worried that your neighbours are all missing bits of their cars. Oh well. It's a small price to pay for having more instruments in the world. Keep up the good work.
