build a rod in sculpture class?

of a few years back a buddy of mine build a fairly large go kart in sculpture cl*** at community college. Im really wanting to do a 32 coupe (or any 30's), but now live an apt complex that hate when I do oil changes, not to mention thats a lot of tools to have to buy. I looked at doing an automotive cl***, but only one school up here does it and they dont even have a welder or allow "projects".

so building a car in sculpture cl***, good idea? du-it?

 

I like the way you think. I might personally do something smaller and more manageable. Perhaps clay or wire sculpture with an automotive theme.

 

i just figured Id create some theme related to the traditional hotrod, and basic car designs. do body, motor, suspension, and just not do any plumbing or wiring to keep it a "sculpture"

 

go for it, but start small..grill shell maybe....learning anything helps

 

You should talk to the prof to see what they will allow. My profs in college wouldn't have let me do anything like that, which really pissed me off when I look at some of the **** other people got to do.... my ideas weren't 'artsy' enough and too crafty.

One option you could look into is taking a metal/jewelry making cl***. They were able to make 'functional' things in that cl***.

 

Ive already done one chop and channel and ch***is build on p*** cars. I just dont have a garage/driveway/tool anymore to do another... and im really itching to have another car to drive.

 

When I lived in St.Louis, the apartments allowed one car only. I used to work on the manager's car, she let me have 5 spots in the lot.

 

I've had a hard time finding a 'nice' place to live out hear b/c of this.
