what about a chain steering wheel or I'm sure I can find an old grain truck wheel that would workIt needs about 1/2 or 3/4 of an old steering wheel showing over the top..
thanks, trying to make it better but I have no talent, I got it this far but not happy with it, but thanks to you all I think it will look better soon. As long as my wall can hold the weight.Either would look good I think.. That's some very cool wall art!
wow that's good. I would think that mine would bring a good price but I like it hanging on my wallThis was hanging in an antique mall close to me.. Had a $500 price tag on it.. Next time I was in there it was gone so I assume they sold it. View attachment 1715149729

Don't need much light for effect. Could probably do battery power led with motion detectoryea I thought about making the head lights work and that's a good idea led takes less power and I could leave them on without a big electric bill. Thanks
haven't done anymore since the last pic but I will when I make changes. would love to get it done but I still have to work every day at least till Sept. then I retire.-----------------------------------PICS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yep good idea I already have the red and white LEDs, Right now I'm working on the zoomies. Not enough room for all 4 pipes but I can do 3 on each side.Don't need much light for effect. Could probably do battery power led with motion detector
yea I thought about making the head lights work and that's a good idea led takes less power and I could leave them on without a big electric bill. Thanks
"need to be higher" than the rest of the parts, maybe even tape some body lines front to rear w/ an outward slant to the rear, to make it look like a hotrod. Tape will let u get it right before painting them. ???????got the tires on the wall but not sure if I like it. soo what next???View attachment 1715149646
that's a good idea Bob was thinking about using cardboard and painting it black for the slicks. and then for the zoomies using 3/4 pipe"need to be higher" than the rest of the parts, maybe even tape some body lines front to rear w/ an outward slant to the rear, to make it look like a hotrod. Tape will let u get it right before painting them. ???????
Some 3/4 EMT tubing long sweeps at lowes/home depot would look the part. Screw the first to the wall and then stagger each one down 1/4 to 1/2 inch to show each tip.

As long as LED's, a lot cheaper to runwas thinken about christmas lights in side the pipes for flames and head lights.
yea my shop lights are all LEDS and real cheep to run. and put out lots of light. just trying to make this wall hanger cheep it will not be on all the time.As long as LED's, a lot cheaper to run
ok guys got all the work out of my garage I had to finish. started working on the wall hanger again this is what I did this afternoon. Please tell me what you think and be honest. the zoomies will be next and the belt on the blower, then the lights. it's not a problem to redo anything so what do you think.
