I've been repurposing some of my old parts into art this summer. I just finished this one. It's a section of the quarter panel off my 61 donor car with a tail light attached and mounted on a panel that hangs on a wall. The tail light lites up via battery operated LED's.
I'm working on the same kinda stuff making man cave wall Clocks got a bunch of these blanks mounting them inside of some alterd 60s bias ply white letter tires sold 2 already
If you guys like junk art sculpture,check out this junk art carrousel. Many parts used to build it came from my backyard. Carrousel — Patrick Amiot Junk Art
I finished the 61 Plymouth right side quarter panel "wall art: today. I had more to work with on this one and it looks cool. NOS lens I got from Marty lights up with battery powered led's.
Not wall art, but still cool. I repurposed this Royal Crown, Nehi soda cooler A long time ago. I still have it as well as another original cooler that I'm thinking about dragging out and repurposing sometime soon.
This root beer fountain service barrel came from a Woolworths that closed in the late 70's. It was old then. Still functional. It makes a great end table. It's big and heavy and available for around $1000.00.

The first 2 pics are of a Tokeim oil vending cabinet I found @ the Charlotte Auto Fair I have never seen another.Stripped it and painted added the repo globe with a airbrushed pic of our old streetrods.
Next is a old oil dispenser cut a hole on 1 side and added shelves.
The parking meter was my wife's high school graduation gift from her brother I put it on a post/disc brake rotor and added the Coca Cola shade from a old lamp.
Lastly I bought the Coke cooler @ the Columbus Goodguys swapmeet had a friend of a friend haul it home .I removed the mechanical's built the kick up out of metal studs and covered it in 50's era tin wallcovering then had a countertop made for it. Will post more later
Here a couple pictures of oil pumps made into lamps .I made 1st one from a Dino oil pump .The last one i bought finished. The black rack on the fireplace came from Sable Chevrolet in Pgh i bought at auction after they closed they had them in the showroom holding sales brochures i use as a magazine rack.
I used a old Pepsi cooler to make the stand for the slot machine's. The cabinet company that made the bar countertop made one for the top of the cooler. The picture of the U Select it vending machine is as I found it at Antique shop in Ca all original paint .I had a freight forwarder that I worked with crate it and ship it back to pgh for me.
