Unusual Yard Sale Finds

Bury them tail up in your front lawn and take bets on how long it takes the cops to show

 

That wouldn't be good for anything so just send them to me!

I agree, DO NOT PUT THESE ON YOUR CAR and they would make killer end tables or bar stools!

 

put a headlight bucket on it, fill it full of gunpowder and throw it out of an airplane

 

chairs
tk

 

I gotta go with planters. They have the Mid-Century Modern look of egg-shaped planters, but the extra kick of the Atomic Age coolness. Paint them and definitely put the Atomic or Radioactive Material symbol.

 

Put a
94
PU
(244)

on there!

 

If a bulb could be found to fit the cut off end close in shape and diameter I'd wire them for lights above a bar would be cool ! Track light bulbs or can style lighting paint them up cool oh yeah ! Maybe a yellow traffic light lens with a bullet in center or old tailight lens with back-up light centers to look like trigger on point of bomb. Things like this drive my wife nuts but some grow on her after awhile. But I've been like this since the day we met. I do agree keep them away from your car! Maybe in the bed of cartoonish pick-up painted with ACME PASSING ASSISTANCE ROCKET painted on the side. Wile E. Coyote that genius would love it .

 

2x on the mailbox idea!

 

Amen to that, there are enough crap rods with crap that doesn't belong hung off them now and no need for any more. They will be great conversation pieces as matching planters though.

 

His idea would be even better than planters.

 

Yea, but instead of messing with Fred's avatar they would be perfect for Nurse Diesel.

 

I knew a dude that found a real set of Ardun heads (not just valve covers) for $200 one time.

they were machine shop fresh too.

 

Would make great speaker enclosures hanging from the shop ceiling

 

I

headlight buckets on your rat rod!!!!!

 

I'd say this would be a cool idea or cut the open end at an angle, hang it on the wall and paint an explotion scene around it.

 

I'd place round glass top on them and use them for end tables...or coffee table.

Depending on how tall they are you could use them as pedestals for a pair of bomber seats..they'd go rather well together...

 

Never found much in the way of automotive treasures at yard sales. The best I ever did was an old flathead valve spring tool (the one that looks like a three foot long open end wrench) for 50 cents.

 

When I was stationed in Germany in the Air Force we used those as speaker stands in the dorm.

 

lol i like that

 

put light bulbs in them and hang them in the garage above the work bench.

 

Hammer some cones for the fronts, make some authentic looking launch rails, paint the radioactive symbols on them, and point them at your nieghbours house...

 

Could see that.

Or convert the pair to horns for a Leslie style rotating speaker....

 

I like the idea of stools except for the garage. Finns down super sturdy even after a couple beers.

 

LMFAO Almost fell off my chair.!!!!!!

 

"It's just an old crapper tank people!"


But I agree, they are pretty cool.

yep, headlight buckets for the rat rodders!

 

Sell em to me......

 

Maybe Madonna could use them for a bra when she gets older !!!! Hell she is older,sell em to HER !!!!

 

Exactly

Now welcome back to the hamb decoration committee

 

yes you are, sell them to me !
