Yard art

I did a search, but could not find exactly what I was looking for. Spring is here and some people plant flowers, but this is my idea of what a flowerbed should look like. I would love to see other peoples decorations and "back burner" projects! By the way, these cars will all be built, they are just patiently waiting their turn. None will go to waste, but when there is no room in the garage, where do you keep your "builders"?

 

What a waste....

 

I hate yard art, but i like fixing it

 

That makes me sick, even if they will be finished

 

I have a couple more of these in the works. Better this time though.

 

Sell them to someone who can finish them. Dead set waste of good tin.

 

Wow! I feel the love! I deleted my pictures when I searched what these guy's are building and dragging home. Made me feel guilty. Sorry.

 

Put the pictures back up. Why tease us with posting without any pictures. Besides it will give the rest of us a chance to rip on you.

I personally like seeing old hulks in peoples yards. Some Tin just can't be saved, might as well show it off!

 

Yes the stuff thats just smoked , paper thin . But ive seen post on the hamb that the cars would be in my shop not in the yard . Like willobilly3 above thats cool . Does he make them for yard art ?

 

Okay, you guy's are right...go ahead and flame and rip away! The truth is, this stuff is available in central California, and I am tired of working 8:00 to 6:00, so if anybody is looking for some good rust free model A or T stuff, maybe we can do some business. Here are the pictures again....Sorry if they hurt!

 

This bit of "front yard art" has been killing me for years

 

Where else are you gunna put it? When he says his garage is full, he means it, I've been there. Maybe you should show off that T roadster in the garage

Yard art from another board.........

 

Me too, and that place rocks. Dont hold back Kenny, post some pics of the stuff in the garage.

 

Here is some of my junk, and I do mean junk!

 

Cool yard art guys! I bought an oleander last year for outside the garage, to put in the space between the two doors because I couldn't afford the requisite gas pump. The best part was when a brown recluse spider spun a web and hung around the garage for a few months. He served as a sort of garage guardian/mascot until he disappeared, I wonder what ever happened to that guy. Anyways I took the oleander inside for the winter and come springtime it's too big to fit between the doors anymore without scraping my cars on it when I back out!

 

There's a ranch in Gilbert AZ that has a complete Model A, painted with a roller to match the house, parked at the street under their ranch name sign next to their driveway.

Better life, for now, than being torn apart by some poser punk and turned into yet one more ground scraping rat rod just to disappear a few months later, probably to a scrapper.

 

Ouch. You suck!

That's "near mint" tin here in Maine.

 

I was driving one of my MGs down the freeway one day and a Black Widow dropped down from under the dash, right onto my knee. luckily there wasn't anyone next to me when I changed lanes while swatting the bitch.

Fumigate the car!

 

looks like Krass and Bernies place!!!

 

Fumigate? That one's for sale, it'll be a project for the next owner.

In all honesty I keep dryer sheets in the cars over the winter, it does a good job of keeping the critters out and unlike mothballs my car smells springtime fresh, as opposed to smelling like old people.

 

plus they are small skinny little SOB's that are hard to step on... and if you let them get to close... just best off to run away screaming... they are liable to make you lose alot of skin among other things... little bastards..

 

Thanks for the heads up, you don't come off as "knowitallish" in the least, I'm always eager to learn new things. Do any of you know what kind of spider it may be, just out of curiosity? Sorry for going off-topic...

 

Here is a couple of old photo of my mor-dor yard art,, HRP

 

Some of the yard art looks okay, but I'm a youngin' and like to see the stuff that was created before my time on the road. The worst for me is when you ask about a car that's obviously been sitting for years in the back corner of someone's property and they tell you "No, I prefer to just watch it rust."

I guess I'm just trying to preserve my own little piece of history for my kids to see so they don't have to just read about it in books.

 

Looks reasonably well cared for and in fairly dry central CA. So not too bad to store it outside - probably been outside in a field full of weeds and trees for 50 years already anyway. Way better than sending them to the crusher like a lot of people might be doing. At least he is appreciating them and keeping them pretty safe for the future. And as far as storing a bunch of "junk" outside, his stash looks pretty nice and not bad to look at. His neighbors may actually appreciate it verses wishing the police would do something about it. If some others actually cared about how others had to view their "junk" there might be less problems with it.

 

I did that one when you couldn't give good T fenders away. I'd have those suckers on ebay if I had them today. The back was some paper thin home made thing and the T&A parts were total junk. I hate seeing good usable stuff made into static displays, I don't even like mueseums.

 

I think your yard stash is neat -- I particularly like the T with the number on the door. Adjust the tire sizes and you're done!
