100% improvement! As a fan of dog dish and moons this is def over the moon!

Those turned out WAY better than I thought. And painting the rims black was a great idea. You really can’t tell that the fronts are different from the rear, unless you get really close and inspect. There’s nothing wrong with those $1.60 hubcaps. 👍🏻👍🏻!!!!

This guy is a freaking legend! In South Africa we don't have access to parts and tools so he makes them!!!! What a legend!

I like the mixing bowl hub caps. Very creative

After a hail storm wrecked the crank up plastic roof vents on my cargo trailer, I replaced them with metal cake pans. Going on 20 years still good no regrets

Lol. Years ago I needed something to go around my hood pins. Dollar store stainless steel pizza cutters!! Made the center hole big enough to fit over hood pins. 2 sided tape to hood.

Dont forget to whitewall the tires with white Flex Seal 💪🏽

Nice new wheels! Quite an improvement with elbow grease and paint!

Cool caps. Back in the 80's I had a 69 C10 pickup with grungy aluminum slots. I bought 4 aluminum frying plan covers and made a bracket so I could use the center knob hole on the covers to mount them. It had kind of a salt flat racer look when done. I'll email you a picture

I like the idea of a pinstripe but only in the original blue green paint from the truck😁

Very creative,,, I once seen a dude put solo cups as center pieces he painted silver and put them in his mag rims.... Ain't it just ain't it 😎 this is a upgraded version.

Salad bowl hub caps is a genius idea!

Pretty cool! Maybe some interesting round decals placed in center over flat spots?

That flat spot on top of bowl look like excellent spot for some sticker. That circular ones with epoxy on top

Necessity is the mother of all inventions very cool. 😮

I have a 1994 Chevy Silverado 4 X 4 Long Wheel Base with 16 inch Steel Wheels. I thought about putting some chrome " Baby Moons " on it but then had a guy offer me 4 " Super Moons " for the price of the Baby's and so I took him up on his offer. They are Steel Wheel Covers and everybody comes up and taps them thinking they're plastic. I really love them and they give the truck a whole different look. I appreciate your Enginuity.

I can’t believe it! I was complaining YESTERDAY about the paper labels on some plastic storage boxes I bought for my workshop. Same deal. Just don’t get it. It’s like they intentionally want to make us struggle. Those bowl caps are great. Innovative idea. Wheels look terrific. I might add 4 more screws around the bowl rim just for optical balance. And some kind of detail element on the flat bottoms. But they are fantastic just as is . 😊👍👍 BTW, I rescue those hose clamps from washing machines and dishwashers people throw out here. Good source of all kinds of hoses, wires, clamps, screws… I can’t help it. I’m a junk lover. But none of mine is high performance!!

That's old fashioned hot rodding at it best. My grandpa did that on his 33 hi-boy back in the 50's. He also used brass deck gun shell casings as exhaust tips.

You gave the mixing bowls a far better life than being abused in the kitchen. I am all a favour for these mods. It is far better to chase 'old school' than to chase technology. I want to run old school style rims on my COE. You never know I might find something else in the kitchen I could use.......LOL

I like the small moons better than the big ones. In my opinion.

That’s was such a great idea,,,,,budget rods across the world will be rocking these caps…😊😊

I love the way the bowls look as moon caps , But I think if you put beauty rings on those rims they would look 1000 % better. They look nice now but they would look complete with beauty rings. Great job keep up the good work and God Bless you and your family. 💯👍👍💪👌😊

Very cheap solution for baby moons I love it and they look good

It works, it's fitting for the era.

As great as the moxie moons look, I would think something out at the edge of the rim, like a pinstripe, would really set it off. I would get a paint pen and spin the wheel while I held it in place. Did something similar to add blue rim stripes on a motorcycle. Great job keeping it clean and simple. I bet it makes people smile for many years to come.

Necessity is the mother of invention...An ingenious idea. Yea boss! Great job man.

HELL YEAH!!! I never ever thought of using mixing bowls!! BAD AZZ Brother!!! 💪🏼

Wheels turned out lekka!!!!!

Great idea !!! Surprised someone hasn't already done it ? Simple and brilliant 👏

Man,that's a great idea, looks a million times better than the white, love the mixing bowl look also 😀

Red thin line around the end of the cup ,will stand up Moore 😁😎

Yes I did it the only trouble was the mixing driving down the road

The flat area on the bottom of that bowl, would be perfect for mounting a bullet cap too

Mixing bowls for hubcaps I would have never thought of it I was thinking about using moon will disc like you see on the salt racers on my

👍"The older I get the less I care what others think" ✌

You made the ratfink proud

The impossible glue on the price stickers is intentional. If you can't peel it off, you can't swap the price tag from a cheaper item.

You and i think alike. You can always find what you need in different industries. They call it thinking outside the box. Another good vid diff 👍

I think it works. Looks like a cop cruiser.. not too shabby.

Amazing Rat Rod Bob has a Doppelgänger on another continent !

Love how your wheels came out pretty cool. By the way put a stainless steel screen in your carburetor intake tower there, and you won't lose that wing nut down into the carburetor, or most thing's anyway. 🛠 Age 65.

Boet!!! I had a feeling you may be doing this!!! Nice idea!!!! Hope all is well!!

Looks good. You are thinking outside of the box to save cash. Thanks for the video 👍

They look good and the price is right.

And another great video of ingenuity and style .I know how you feel about malls ,if only they had no people in them I would shop there more often and if I had the money .NOT!!! .Don't let they wife get to close to those mixing bowls ,youle come out one day and find them hanging up with flowers in them. Cheers

You could paint a star on each hub cap flat,or put a decal on them, looks great , good job!

Diff very beautiful idea. Gotta love recycling. Awesome idea. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.

With a friend here in Australia used stainless steel bowls to make the headlight surrounds on a 1940s ratrod ute we are building

I'm from the UK and new to the channel, I love budget builds, great video.

Hey Diff, I agree with you that the blue / green paint will tie the truck together. Great idea with the mixing bowls! Looks great! I've got a peanut butter jar lid covering the center of my steering wheel where the horn button should be. Just don't tell my wife that it was me who took the lid!:). Love the look of baby moons.

this takes me back...thanks!

Looks Great!!!!and is cost effective-Keep the Rat-Rods rolling....

Lekker idea Diff, you've cornered the market for moom eye mixing bowl hubcaps. Back in the 60's some record labels had a vertigo symbol, as the vinyl spun and the more you looked at the spiral, it could cause hypnosis. Great for the flat spot on the hubcaps.

I didn't use them for for baby moons like you did but what an awesome idea I've used those bowls for the inserts on my 48 for the front lights I am a fabricator by trade for NASCAR 30 years and I think you did a great job and I've added you to my program so I can watch stuff you put out thank you so much

What a great idea . Two or three days before the wife finds out that they are missing , but you can be in the next county by then .

Your baby moons inspired me and so I used some SS thermos cups for wheel centers on my 40 dodge project. They were in my cupboard and dont think I will be going to work so no extra cost to me. Thanks for sharing your ideas. Cheers!

Awesome !!! Ingenuity at its best brother !!!! Awesome idea !!!!! Originality is always better than carbon copy !!!! Awesome once again !!! Pray yall have a leeka day brother !!! Say hi to everyone for me !!!

Great idea with the bowls man! That is truly Rat Rod thinking. LONG LIVE THE OLD IRON!!!!!!!!

Dif you have done it again. Don't ever change your approach to your website. I love it man.

All I can say is WOW👌.

I also have a 51 Chevy pickup and I am going to try mixing bowls on it. You are a genius they look great!

So inspired by your video, Diff, we went to a local restaurant last night called "Potjie Pot" and had Boerewors, Pap and carrot salad for dinner. Finished off with Cooked Sister and Castle Lager. Mate, you blokes eat well over there. I was guided through my culinary experience by my partner, who is an ex- Zim :) ;) :) Keep up the great videos by the way

This is a awesome inexpensive way to get your ride cruise worthy

Looks great. I saw a guy once use half of the plastic pantyhose egg as a center cap.

It was definitely worth feeling uncomfortable in the shopping mall. Great look on the black wheels. 👍 If you found a nice badge/emblem with a raised relief that could be glued or rivetted on the the flat base of the mixing bowls, it would go a long way to hide their origins. Just an idea.

Very cool! I used stainless steel cooking pot lids on my winter rims for my 1988 GMC C1500 , they were Caprice police car wheels, no provision for hub caps they worked great , looked great and covered the lug nuts. I paid $4.50 CDN each for them back in 2005.

I've done something similar to that before, only I used Stainless Steel Cat Food bowls from the Pet Store or Walmart.

Those wheels and hubcaps are lekka Div. Absolute insane idea that looks amazing

It was amazing my friend, I love adaptations!

Now its name can change to "The HubTub"

Great Iv got a trailer with dog bowls on but superb viewing at a nice slow pace

I like your Baby Moon hubcaps. Nice cheap upgrade.

I’m impressed, I think it’s a winner.

I haven't looked at mixing bowls the same since I watched this video. I seriously think I will do this on my 1972 winnebago motorhome.

Looking great, those hub caps look great man, it's getting closer and closer, the truck's great, all the best to you and your loved ones, have a Lekka one

You are a genius at MIX and match ! 😜👌 Looks perfect !

Awesomely done Diff mixing bowl conversion hitting the hi-way with your wife's Xmas pudding getting a lekka mix and will be ready for the oven.

I am inspired ! My 83 VW bus will be beautiful , Thank you. Mixing bowl baby moons w. Ganesha stenciled in the center.

what a great idea for hug caps, they look fantastic

Absolutely brilliant, well done Div! 👍 When you mentioned those bowls in the last video I was wondering if you'll turn them into some sort of lights, but this is just plain awesome 🙂 Personally, I love the combination of satin black wheels and shiny center caps, used to rock this combination on my old Merc back in the day and nowadays I got this (factory) setup on my CrownVic plus some additional trim rings. You nailed it, it does go very well with your truck for a very reasonable price 😀. Also, congrats to all those new subscribers to your channel since the last months! Easily one of my most favourite yt channels - always a must watch whenever you upload another vid. Have a great week!

Use "Goo Gone" or "Goo Off" to remove glue or sticky residue off stuff. A plesently orangie-smelling product that uses natural citrus to dissolve the glue on paper backed products. Works on vinyl products over paper, but you have to strip off the top vinyl layer. The product will not damage the paint of anything under the surface except the glue.even on a plastic surface like a home-made label on a Ccssette, DVD or VHS.

😂😂😂Great idea using the mixing bowls for hubcaps! The truck looks so much better with the black rims and moonies! I once used an enamel cooking pot and lid as an air cleaner housing on a 1940 Hudson. It was hilarious and a real conversation starter. ( The video about that is on my channel if you are interested 😊- “ How to mod an air filter on a 1940 Hudson “)

Looks cool man keep up the good work trucks looking great

Man, that looks FANTASTIC!! Especially for the money savings!!

My Uncle did this with stainless canine water bowls on a 78 Dodge D100 in 1985. Very clever of him and never forget it. I wish I had pictures of it.

Them hub caps looked pretty good there Diff great job once again brother xx

Perfect timing Div! 😆 I just got up for work, and can sit down with my coffee and cigarette and enjoy this episode first!......the wheels look great 👍🏻 mooneyes vibes.... Bonza matey! 🤙🏼🇦🇺 Cheers Div! ☕️ 🚬

Put reflectors in the flat center spot on the "moonies".

They turned out sweet 👍👍

Duff, I think that the mixing bowls work great ! They may just need a spinner cap ? We can't get bowls any where near as cheap as you did but, they work and work great ! I know several people that have used mixing bowls for all kinds of different automotive things ! You just can't beat the price or if they said they were for cars they'd be 3 times more the cost ! Nice work

You can spray the tires with a light coat of black spray paint. Makes them look new.........

My mate has silver sprayed plant pots as centre caps for the 10” mag wheels on his Austin mini 👌😂😂

Great idea!

PS needs some copper centercaps with RRSA centre punched into it.

I like your style Diff , I watching it again. Lol like 6 times over the last few months . Lol your awsome man

Just wanted to let you know that you've started something! Bought a set of bowls today for $ 1.25 each! Will prep and shoot wheels and install as you laid out. Gonna look great and saved me a lot of bread! Thanks!

Diff that is brilliant! I know you hate paint, but that really is cool! I am a huge fan of taller tires in the rear. Awesome job my friend! Just think, when you put on the stainless hardware it will even better!

Good idea 💡

Well"! guess what? now it's not the only truck with mixing bowls on it 😁🤗 for all this poor boys out here 😃 you sure R saving us some money!🙉🙈🙊💯💥👣

That's a great idea and it looks really nice. I think if you paint the running boards black and paint just the fenders green and keep the rest rusted that would look different.just a thought since you hate painting lol.
