What have you made from old car parts?

Not done with it yet though

 

This is another of many that I did for people

 

Model A timing gear+Model A cluster gear+Model T rear axle bearing+Model A front wheel bearing+Model A valve spring=

Lamp

 

looks like you have a lot of------------time--------- on your hands

 

Hood ornament!

 

Cool stuff!

 

Some buds

 

hub cap siding on my house.

 

Lots of people have these I later found out.
Oh well, still a damn cool table/wine "rack".

 

Not exactly a work of art but I took a bunch of cast off parts from parts cars and built this.

 

Kitchen pantry pulls made from Model A door handles. Nothing fancy, but they make me smile every time I grab a can of soup. My wife loves them-another reason why I love her.

 

Awesome stuff, I like to see other peoples ideas.

 

Holly cow, you have a big backyard !!

 

A book shelf and a toaster in my high school shop class. One ferrarimgave it's life.

 

Friend & enemies and maybe a little cash---but mostly friends!

 

Mike, that little buggy might not be a work of art, but it sure looks like a fun ride!! The trans is connected directly to the rear axle? No rear suspension at all? Hard on the back if on a bumpy road, but still all grins!!

 

I don't claim to be an artist but I recently ran across some work by an Aussie by the name of James Corbett that uses junk to build fantastic works of art. HRP

 

Made this light from a '56 wagon for the throne. The frame is from a '62 panel truck's stainless steel rocker panel trim.

 

I made this reindeer. Full story here.

Made this today.

 

All of the above. Especially the last one.

 

1950 235 piston and bearings, with LS1 pushrods, rocker arms and lifters. I made this as a 9/11 tribute a couple years back. Unfortunately I pitched the other 5 pistons before I got the idea : (

 

A flower bed!

 

whew----glad that wasnt a good fender---those are hard to find

 

I love the lamp! Thanks for the idea!

 

It actually had front and rear suspension and a twelve inch drive shaft, I shortened a 66 Galaxie frame as much as I could just to see what would happen. Made a pretty good canyon runner but the park bench seat was hard on the butt bones.
I love a lot of this art work you guys have done, gonna steal the Cadillac Ranch idea when I retire the drag race car.

 

Something I made from old nuts & bolts and a spark plug

The other thing I made for my office is from an AC Compressor and some magnets I had

 

This is my (late) friend Jim Gary and a couple of his "20th Century Dinosaurs." With help from the Smithsonian and National Geographic,Jim and his creations toured the planet for a couple of years.

 

still working on it
