Another piece of junk

[Willowbilly3]

Junk art that is. The latest from the twisted workshop. 1/4 scale 1920s era board track racer. I've been a week and a half straight on this, at least 60 hours into it. The tape measure is pulled out about 2 feet so you can see the scale.

WOW! That is GREAT! you could build and sell those, Did you make that cylinder and head? I am not kidding this is a work of art.

You have a gift WB. And you are not afraid to put in the labor. Very cool project.

 

[sneakysnake]

The chainsaw jug and flywheel looks really cool and the springer front end [cl

 

[Willowbilly3]

Weed whacker jug and cases with the magneto/flywheel bolted on top for a head. My most ambitious and tedious art work yet. Probably somewhere between 60 and 80 hours into it.

That's to cool!! Great job.

 

[GJunktionMike]

That is awesome [cl

 

[Willowbilly3]

The springer, tank, handlebars, exhaust pipe and a few other pieces that look black in the pictures are actually gun blued.

Haha, yeah minimum wage and materials would make it over 2 grand, so it'll probably be around a while. Not past the next Sturgis rally though maybe.

It looks good man!

And you may be surprised what some will pay for art. I have a few friends in various parts of the country who makes most their living with their art sculptures. Go to a few art shows where the art is for sale. You will see that you can build way better stuff then most of the "artist" and would probably be more then happy to take their asking price for what they want for their art.

Send Jeff (bonehead) a message on here. He would be able to give better advice then anyone I know on the subject.

Weld on man![

That's too cool!! Great job.

Wow, yeah! VERY creative and realistic looking! [cl

 

[smallfoot]

That's some fine work WB3!!!

 

[Country Misfit]

That is cool.

 

[Old Iron]

It takes an inspired mind to even come up with things as cool as you made.
A themed restaurant owner would pay your asking price any day of the year.

 

[maverickmk]

Awesome! I wish I had just a little bit of the ability to make up some stuff like that. I'm very impressed.

 

[Willowbilly3]

My head is so full of junk that sometimes it just spills out on the work bench,lol. I think most of you could do this stuff. It's just the same basic skills we use to build hot rods. Of course you need to be knee deep in junk and always bringing home more. Almost any given day I drag home more crap and the last 3 picks are still rattling around in the back of the ghetto van.

Now that you made one, I bet you could make a few others in half the time!

 

[Willowbilly3]

Got another one planned but I really need to get back on the 56 caddy before snow flies. Not to mention everything I own with an engine or wheels needs work.

 

[Dirtyrat]

I love it! Nice work!
