Another One of My Hobbies

[53MERC]

One of my other hobbies other than classic cars has been creating stuff in my workshop to stay busy. Mainly funky birdhouses, and recently I got into creating robot like figures out of repurposed junk I pick up.
YES, some old auto parts were used on some of these.
***WARNING - Not for the weak at heart***
Enjoy.

And more.
A Rambler radio head, and a 57 Chevy radio head.
Both were $5.00 at a yard sale.

I like them. For more inspirations google images for 'auto part art' . Hmmm, I wonder what's possible using mushroom valves, split valve guides and a helmet distributor? Jack E/NJ
