My new clock
« on: August 28, 2007 - 05:10:27 PM »
I got it today from a vendor at the Minnesota State Fair.  He had like a thousand or so hubcaps that he drills a hole in and puts letters on.  Viola!  A clock!  Anyways, saw the Challenger one, had to get it.  I know he has one more, today anyways.  Put it next to my other car stuff in my room, I need some more!  I have slowly been moving the Packer stuff to the other side, I dont need any more Packer stuff right now, the other 3 walls are covered in it, lol.

 :cheers:

That's way cool using one of those old hub caps!!  :2thumbs:

I have one that is unique. It's a chrome air-filter assembly. It looks black in the pic(cause I stink at pic taking). It actually has the air filter element in it too.

Very cool stuff guys!  :2thumbs:

I did something like that using stuff from a craft store and made a clock from an old Acura Legend speedometer.  Not quite the same effect of the Challenger stuff, but it works.

With the clock assembly from a craft store and imagination, you can turn almost any otem into some sort clock.

It's all in fun! By the way you got a very nice clock there. I still have my foam Viking brick for throwing at the TV. I have a feeling it's going to get another workout this season!

 :2thumbs: WAY cool clock steve.
NOW lets get down to business!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the 1st thing i'm going to do is look for a challenger waste basket that you can through all that packer garbage in.
then i'm going to send you a viking t-shirt to convert you over.and while i'm at it i'm going to send you some purple-yellow and white paint to paint your challenger with so you can convert the rest of the packer backers in cheeseland while cruising the back roads.
