Bike Rack - Bed Mounted
This was a car-top bike rack. It was a bit wide for the Bantam, so I cut a few inches out of it and used some strap steel to join it back together:
Toy Trailer
Watching me restore the Bantam trailer fanned an already-intense interest in things that “hitch together” in my son. He has one of those Crazy Koop cars and a similar mini-van, and is constantly lashing them together with neckties from the dress-up box and pretending to tow a trailer. He also has a red PowerWheels Jeep that he’s crazy to pull something with.
Rear Bantam Logo
The trailer is licensed as a Historic Vehicle complete with a special license plate, and the rear “Bantam” sticker hs been added.
