GARAGE ART: What'd you build?

Just bad ass

 

This thread motivated me to get that bumper attached! I called up my bud and he brought over his welder and a portaband and we fabbed up some brackets out of some 1/4" flat bar stock. I was happy with what I already had but the bumper just finishes it out.





And Denise, that shot of my shop fridge is a couple months old...I shot this one a few minutes ago....



I do have a buddy that works at a beer store that lets me know when they're running a special. I've learned that if I like it that I need to buy it before they run out...It might be a couple months before they get anything else in that I like...This shot is also from a few minutes ago.



It usually cost me $5 for a 12 pack or $10 for a case (including tax). I have bought it as cheap as $5 for a 24 bottle case of beer.

 

Got this windshield from an early 60's Chrysler for free. Makes for a good leg-cutting coffee table.

 

Ya know garlic and pineapple don't mix well with beer.

 

Maybe he's chillin it for mixed drinks?

 

awesome thread...I've got to get off my butt and make something

 

garage is still "under construction" but my new toy should definately help in the process!

...some awesome pieces on here!

 

Ya think
That and the fact he's scrared of vampires.

I agree and it looks great. I love chrome, and bumpers.

I just finished this lamp from a unitest 5 gallon oil can, I'm not sure of the vintage, but it had a wooden part on the handle, they made it in Augusta Georgia. It's made from old lamp parts and the bulb holder is a ceiling fan bulb holder upside down with an antique globe, started it five years ago, kept losing either one or the other parts. I finally found them both at once,so i figured I better finish it.

 

some awesome stuff on here

 

anybody know anything about the phoenix oil company that made that oil?

 

that is awesome

 

wallhanger ...

 

that camaro front end looks really great! nice work!

i have been on the lookout for the same thing to give the neon treatment to. i guess we will see.....

 

I'm looking for some idea's for a new mail box. Our house is 50's atomic ranch style and I'm down to mailbox and address numbers...

Anyone in the area with a plasma cutter up for cutting up some numbers in trade for some beer?

 

some really nice work in here, I cant wait to start on my desk

I got an 70's VW buss that might donate it's ass end for something like this. Yep, I know it will!

 

On a similar note, my daughter's babysitter's husband cut two astrovans in half and welded the aft sections back into each other and made a trailer out of them. It kicks ass. Would be way cooler made out of a vw bus

 

A little O/T, but a buddy hit this fire hydrant and the city made him buy it, ($500!!!) I made a table out of it. There is a piece of glass that goes on top of the circle of flames.

 

This thread is a must see for my wife Im almost tempted to wake her up!

 

I pile up all the parts I replace and sometimes a monster comes out

 

made this out of a 1930 model A grille shell. the V8 logo just seemed to be the right thing to do.

 

What an awesome thread. I have been waiting to do shit like this when I get my garage.

 

Excellent topic.....love all these great creative ideas.....thanks!
