Garage Art? Hell, I'm putting it over the T.V.

BOY !! That sure would ruin it for the guys with the REAL ones !

So is this a REAL one ? Or is it allready a fake !

 

When those guys are done authenticating the Shroud of Turin maybe they can get started on these...

 

Knowing Mark Kirby like I do I'd say real.

 

gosh, I was thinking I was the only one that knew that. thats the side of a box, easily duplicated if one wanted one.

 

scott you are correct...One is going in the tattoo shop... and yes they are real...Mark said he got one with every set of Ardun Heads he ordered when his shop ( Motor City Flatheads) was in business..They were the top of the box....He said he built about 20 or so engines with the Ardun overhead valve conversion...and he save a bunch ......... and yes I just sit around days thinking of ways to copy a sign or crate I did not even know there was...

 

Imagine that lid on a box full of scrap iron at auction on egay....

"Contents unknown"

ROFL

 

so they are genuine Ardun boxes that housed the recent repo heads then?

I don't understand the fascination. If it were off original early Ardun crate
I could see the excitement.

 

I'm not sure....He had his shop from the early 80's to the late 90's ...Does anyone else have any pic's of these?????

 

That's alot of excitement over a box

 

don't get me wrong, I like some good box and much as the next guy.... But lets not get too out of control here

 

A little Rockwell, a little Jott 44... (The computer fonts used).

These are cool, but not real.

If these were really produced back in the day, then the lettering dude (or dudette) would have at least had the decency to fully connect the letters in the script.

 

That is pretty cool, but I agree that is not THAT big a deal. At best they are 20 years old.

Now if they were 50 years old, that is ENTIRELY different.

 

Hey all....At work today Mark Kirby told they are from when Don Orosco bought all the toolin and core boxes..He offered a limited production run of the heads.....50 or so sets....These are the box tops that the heads came in...so it is from the late 80' early 90's I believe...I never meant to miss lead anyone that they were super old..I just wanted to show the HAMB members that were interested...To the rest of the nay sayers....BLOW ME.....I have some you don't.

I was going to donate one for a hamb auction....But why? ...It will just get a bunch of idiots commenting on it and sayind it's fake........Fuck that...

 

Jesus what is it with all you critics? This isn't the Antique Roadshow here?? The guy is just showing us some cool art. shut up and enjoy it.

 

Why? So that those of us who ARE interested might have a shot at one? They are a legit part of Ardun history even if they're not ancient relics! I'd be damned proud to be able to hang one in my garage! (To own a real Ardun equipped flathead would rock, too, but that's a whole 'nuther gig!)

 

I'm very proud to have one of these. Yes, it is hanging on a wall in the living room. Pure art !
