Plymouthy Adams Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 like a lot of cars..that is unfinished art..where is the rest of the trim???? This is why we have starving artists in this country.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatie46 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 It's really cool...but, the headlights need to work. Had this on my mind for a while. I'd also like to take a P15 dash and mount it on the wall, have it to where when I turn the radio knob my shop radio comes on and the dash gauges light up.

Daliant. Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Wow $3500? You can buy a whole car for that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester Brzostowski Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Some folks can put three pieces of fruit in a bowl and its art. I do it and its three pieces of fruit in a bowl. Go figure ? Chet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plyroadking Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I saw that on craigslist a week ago for $1,500 would have been a good investment if it sells for his asking price. Also I thought art was about appreciating stuff, how could an "artist" destroy someone else's piece of art?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
52b3b Joe Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 It's really cool...but, the headlights need to work. Had this on my mind for a while. I'd also like to take a P15 dash and mount it on the wall, have it to where when I turn the radio knob my shop radio comes on and the dash gauges light up. I've had that same idea too....I'm actually pretty close to it now. I bought a 48 desoto yesterday, a GREAT buy. The car is in great shape and tons of extra parts, mainly NOS in the boxes. It comes with a spare complete dash and steering column so it got my wheels turning for wall art. The kicker is that the car with parts cost just about half what hes asking for the wall art.

Don Coatney Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Remanufactured????? Would look better with a front bumper in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 bumper fell off and hit the artist in the head..such is the idea for the creation.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Best art item I created was to use a nice P15 sedan brake light bezel for a picture frame. Ultimately sold it to Mr. Coatney.....but took the picture of my car out first. Strangely, he put it on the trunk lid of his car. Go figure.

Niel Hoback Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I think the bumper falling off and hitting the "artist" on the head is probably the basis for his pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenbomb Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Yes, you can get a whole car for that money, but it's way more difficult to hang a complete car on the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 build a split level home with the garage elevated and and slightly angled down..drive the car thrugh the special shaped opening....ureka ..the bet of both worlds and yes the lights will be operative...whoever said 4 hours of sleep and 20 hours of coffee is not productive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
