G.O. Bowl 2017
Hey Gang,
My shop complex is known as Garage Oasis, and it's a place made up of about 80 garage condos. Most guys house their collections there, polished floors, mezzanines with pool table, bars, etc. Me? I'm the riff-raff in there with tools and dust everywhere [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Each year a guy across the alley from me throws a huge Super Bowl bash, and I affectionately call it, the G.O. Bowl!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]. There's going to be about 100 people there, and we're having a car show as well. So to contribute, I made up these trophies to hand out. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...205_073608.jpg I needed to get a few parts from the Bee chromed and decided to add some bling to the trophies, so I got them plated. The gold one is the Ladies Choice award. The others are Hottest Hauler, Coolest Cruiser, and People's Choice. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...205_073738.jpg The parts are Ford FE connecting rods, Camshaft courtesy of a wiped out lobe 327 Vette engine, and intake/exhaust valves from a FE Ford too. Bases are engine pulleys I had laying around too. The color is base/clear Kona Blue from a 2010 Mustang I had leftover from painting my 56 Nomad years ago. Pinstripes and the center chrome molding is just to add some pop! Labels are sticky vinyl on chrome paper. I welded the parts up and then tacked on a threaded rod that runs through the whole assembly and bolts all the parts together. That way, once the winner is announced, he/she can hoist the trophy in the air screaming, " Yes!!! Yes!!! In your face suckahs!!!!!" and not have the trophy fall apart resulting in parts flying all over and denting hoods/foreheads resulting in massive lawsuits [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img] I'll post up winners tomorrow! Hopefully the rain holds out! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img] Cheers [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] Dave |
