Tech: How to tick off the neighbors in the name of "Art"

Step 1: First find yourself a crappy old truck cab that is way too rough to fix. In my case I used an early International. Once you remove all of the wood and unessential stuff they are pretty light.

Step 2: Find a suitable location for "Display". I have a crappy old shed with peeling paint so it just adds to the "Patina".

Step 3: Go to your local hardware store and buy 3 boxes of self tapping sheetmetal screws and get busy!

 

You forgot to add this is also a neat way to store stuff for future projects.

 

That crappy old shed could be the garage of my dreams.

 

Extra points if you stand in the loader bucket of a tractor to do that.

 

I love it. Don't think the landlord would though.

 

ill second that one! better then my grass, sky combo i have now!

 

EXCELLENT! Will you be selling this DIY kit in your stores?

 

I would be interested in seeing what they sell there. If that were my store, it would be like a farm and fleet with beer and porn. What more does a fella need??

 

Plowboy, I got a real problem with your post:

Don't you know that no crappy old truck cab is way too rough to fix? Just look at some ebay auctions; often the descriptions will tell you just how easy it is to fix!

If you wish to list it yourself, try using the following words in the title:

If all else fails, post a 'sale' ad on OSR

HAHA!! Get ready for visits from kids like me who want to buy your "Art" cuz they honestly think it's not too rough to fix.

 

You must of been bored and nothing better to be doing. I think you should add some lights to it

at first i thought it was one of the cars from michell
and now you have me thinking about farm and fleet with beer and porn...nice
tk

 

All it needs now is a weathervane made out of an old cam and some timing gears.

 

LOL! I think it's a food market. Supposedly have good produce:

Not sure if it's a chain or not. If I go in there, I'll let them know the boss says to add the above items to their shelves.

 

feel free to use my parking spot at the urbana farm and fleet.....dont leave it sticky

 

looks like the rat rod version of the giant cross by the interstate...

 

It's just an old Rusty cross. Jesus would be happy. He loves hot rods don't ya know?

 

What more does a fella need??

Fried chicken!!!

 

Now it needs a halo made out of those day-glo orange road cones.

 

you need to add some headlights, really bright ones that come on with a motion detector that is pointed at their driveway or the doors facing it. fuck the neighbors!

 

Step 4: Paint evil eyes on the sheet metal behind the door windows, and teeth thru the rear window opening.

 

Aren't your neighbors like a mile away? From that distance it just looks like a cross... totally acceptable and ENCOURAGED here in the heart of the Bible belt. Hahaha!

 

Jesus built my hot rod...

 

redneck!

 

nice!!

 

I don't get it..."Art" who...???

R-

 

You sir are a genius. Or a.... Yeah thats right , yeah. A genius.

 

Hey Aaron is that your hommage to Quiet Riot?

Have you ever heard of Jon Hall (the guy who owns Shadow Rods, maker of that larger sized steel '27 T roadster)?
In his personal hobby shop (90X50) inside his manufacturing plant has a completely disassembled origonal '32 roadster hanging on the wall just like you've pictured. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, just disassembled. He's got a couple extra origional ones so he thought it would make a nice wall hanger.
Jon has worked hard for his money, has LOTS of toys, so what he does with them is his business. He already has a couple of kids so he's not interested in adopting any, I already asked.

Looks like a "himjively" fold-up art work from the Art Show!
