Turning a truck into a bar...

[truckman72]

Now that the truck is almost finished (almost 12 years now), we have decided to turn some of the remaining parts into a bar for our outdoor kitchen area. Since we had an old front end left, we are turning it into a moveable bar that will be on wheels.

The only issue we are still trying to work out is how to make the wheels fit into it and look like it is natural inside the wheels. Any suggestions?

Also, we are looking for suggestions to clean the rust and paint to get a nice patina look.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

The area inside the blue tape will be cut out for the counter top.
