Art & Inspiration Interesting Sculptures made from old car parts

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by mctim64, Sep 1, 2010.

  1. Someone emailed me these so I did a search and found no one had posted them yet so I will.

    I think they are pretty cool, look real close and you can certainly identify some of the parts and what cars they came from. ;)

    Here is some of my stuff. I don't use any good parts, strictly garbage.
    I like them a little more "rustic", that way I can store them outside when they don't sell, haha.

    Looks like a waste of some really good parts. And Good use to some really bad ones.

    If you spent anywhere near the amount of time you spend complaining , out in the garage you could build 1 car a year , and wouldnt have time to worry about all the other crap you think about !!:D

    Yeah... James Corbett...I stumbled onto his work about a year ago...really inspiring. There is another guy that I like named Greg Brotherton that did this sculpture called "DeSoto Rising"

    Corbett's work is outstanding. He understands musculature, gesture, and vehicle dynamics better than most sculptors working in more plastic media; what he does with junk parts is the best I've ever seen.
